Listen "Appropriate Intervention "
Episode Synopsis
Janel is a 37-year-old woman who is being interviewed as part of a family assessment. Her 10-year-old son is having some behavioral issues in school and has been referred for evaluation. While interviewing Janel the PMHNP appreciates that she appears very emotional. She expresses extreme distress at her son’s behavior and says she will do anything to help him; they are “best friends.” She is very demonstrative during the assessment and seems unhappy when she is not the center of attention during the evaluation process. She repeatedly talks about her own medical problems such as recurrent headache and abdominal pain which her doctors cannot diagnose. Her appearance is very flamboyant, and her dress is more appropriate to nightclub than a family assessment. In addition to managing her son’s needs, Janel would likely benefit from: A. Pharmacotherapy B. Psychodynamic psychotherapy C. Transference-focused psychotherapy D. A stress interview ---YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRilyrxdpL0&list=PLf0PFEPBXfq5HGfNV-GbOlYHtDwd35OeG&index=25
