Learning Objectives
When an individual's understanding of reality and fantasy come into question, their mental health treatment becomes more complicated. In this Case Study, learners are given an opportunity to observe and consider the thoughts and feelings of a patient who is unsure of what is real. Deciphering delusions from real experiences requires active viewership, as the patient does not feel she is in control of herself or her actions at times.
