Diagnosis and Case Formulation for the Grinch
Susan Shields
Bellevue University
Anti-Social Personality Disorder for even the most experience therapist. I find that the Grinch have a long history of disregarding I am happy to be working in this area, yet I am also aware that I have a long way to go before I will feel that I have the knowledge needed to assess each situation on my own. Thanks to my supervisor, I was able to participate in a case with a young child that had experienced domestic violence. Parents, whether biological, foster or adoptive, can play a significant role in addressing symptoms of PTSD by reassuring a child that he/she is safe. Though each case is unique, I will attempt to analyze this case.
Case Summary A two year old, petite and adorable little Caucasian female presented in the office due a recent increase in aggressive behaviors at home and daycare towards others, avoidant behaviors at home, sleeping issues and anger/violence towards her sibling and peers at daycare and adult caregivers. She and her twin sister were removed from their home due to domestic violence between the parents, both parent C/D issues and their incarceration and the parents’ inability to provide safe and stable housing and appropriate care for the children. The twins were placed with their paternal grandmother for a period of two years before they were removed by the state due to their PCP’s report of their failure to thrive and lack of weight gain. Biological mother had her rights terminated by the courts. Biological father is trying to regain custody of the girls and is working to reach that goal. This little girl shows signs of fetal drug exposure as mom drank and did heavy narcotics while pregnant with the twins. She had several disruptions in attachment, due to her multiple moves. She has several tantrums throughout the day and has trouble sharing with her sister. She hoards food and always has a sense that she does not have
