Unit 6 Project
Case Study 1: Sally
Sally is a 34-year-old single Caucasian woman who comes to you seeking assistance for what she calls her “food problem.” Sally states that she loves food and finds it one of the only sources of comfort and pleasure in her life. Sally is wearing a tank top and matching shorts. Her outfit is clean and fashionably in style; however, the clothing appears to be too small for Sally’s obese body. Sally is sweating a great deal and she is breathless after the short walk from the parking lot into the office.
During the interview, Sally discloses that she was diagnosed with depression and was prescribed medication, but she has not been taking it like she should. She clutches the pillows on the couch to her body throughout the interview and pulls tissues out of a nearby box to wipe sweat from her face.
