Learning Objectives
Following incidents of great trauma, an individual can experience any number of reactions or symptoms that can be unexpected and disruptive in nature. It is the role of the therapist to recognize these behaviors and establish whether they can be indicative of a larger diagnosis. In this Case Study, a patient describes a horrific situation they experienced, and then proceeds to explain the impact it has had on their lives. In observing and listening, learners are able to pick up on clues that may reveal a greater understanding of their situation and their condition.
