Danial’s case study.
Respond to the questions below ( The Questions to Address for Danial…) for each part of Danial’s case study. Be particularly careful to integrate information from
each preceding developmental stage into your responses, as they provide you with valuable history. Then answer the final questions as Part 4.
Think of each part of the case study as your first exposure to Danial, but in each successive part, you will be expected to consider all material from the previous
scenarios. For example:
Part 1: When you respond to the questions in Part 1, all the information you know about Danial is contained in Part 1. Your answers will relate to only this scenario.
Part 2: When you respond to the questions in Part 2, you will have access to the expanded history. Respond to the scenario presented in Danial, Part 2, but also be
aware of his previous history detailed in Part 1. Think of Part 1 as information from a medical record. Be sure to integrate this information into your response to the
questions in Part 2.
Part 3: When you respond to Part 3, you will have access to the full history. Respond to the information presented in Danial, Part 3 at that point. Be sure to
integrate his previous history from Parts 1 and 2 into your Part 3 answer.
Part 4: This is a separate section designed to integrate important issues from this course.
The Questions to Address for Danial, After Each Part (1, 2, and 3)
What are your diagnostic hypotheses for Danial in this scenario? Justify your conclusions.
Describe what further diagnostic information you need (what further diagnostic evaluation is warranted) at the end of this scenario.
From a diathesis-stress perspective, what impact do the cultural, ethnic, and psychosexual issues have on Danial and his family in this scenario, and what other issues
may play a role?
Part 4 Questions and Issues
Given Danial’s family background and his open homosexuality, what cultural and ethnic factors do you need to be aware of at the different stages of his life, and how
would you deal with them in arriving at your diagnoses? Give your reasoning with supporting documentation.
Compare and contrast the changing roles of psychosexual diagnoses in the DSM text since the 1950s.
