Scenario 5
Patricia is a 44-year-old female who reports that she has periods of time where she cannot remember what she has done.  She reports that after one such period, she received a telephone call from a man who claimed to have met her in a bar where she was “the life of the party.”  She had also told the man her name was Priscilla.  Patricia thinks that this is odd because she does not drink, and she is a rather shy and retiring person.  However, the man had her correct telephone number and was able to give a good physical description of her.
     
Diagnosis

She believes that her behavior is being controlled by other people and she thinks that all her former friends have formed a conspiracy and are out to get her.  She also tends toward repetitive, highly ritualized behavior.

Scenario 10
Frank was attending college in San Francisco during a recent earthquake. He lived in the area that was hardest hit by the quake. Frank was not home when the earthquake hit and was not injured in any way, but when he returned home, he found his building demolished and his two roommates crushed to death. Frank immediately drove himself to the airport, bought a ticket to Boston, and got on the plane. His parents found him on their doorstep in Boston the next morning. Frank remembers nothing about the earthquake and nothing about going to college in San Francisco. The last thing he remembers is being a high school student and living with his parents in Boston.

Dissociative Identity

Scenario 6 Marianne is a 34-year-old female showing signs of disorganized thought and flat affect.  She says that she hears voices telling her to do things. She believes that her behavior is being controlled by other people and she thinks that all her former friends have formed a conspiracy and are out to get her.  She also tends toward repetitive, highly ritualized behavior.

Marianne seems to be developing schizophrenia. She is experiencing thought & emotional problems.  She is experiencing paranoid delusions and delusions of persecution. She believes that other people are trying to control her.  She also thinks that other people are trying to hurt her.

Dissociative d/o - the general class - suddenly just lost touch with his identity, took off across the country and has no recollection of how he got there or where he had been.
