QUESTION 1

1. Tommy, age 10, was brought into treatment by his mother after a school teacher became concerned about his declining grades and sullen passivity.

QUESTION 3

1. Jan came to a community mental health center (CMHC) complaining of depression. Clinical assessment identified negative thoughts as a prominent component of Jane’s emotional state. She constantly berates herself. Jane almost takes these thoughts for granted because they have been so pervasive and long-standing. Recently, she has become more critical of her inability to control these thoughts.

QUESTION 7

1. A graduate student in chemistry, Li Nan has struggled with the transition from Chinese to American higher education. She came to the student mental health center upon the recommendation of a professor. She complains of low energy, lack of motivation, general pessimism, and profound discouragement concerning her efforts to ever complete the degree. Dropping out of school, however, would be disloyal to family members who have sacrificed so she can attend an American university, and deeply embarrassing.
