Last week, you noticed that Pats results on the MMPI-2 included elevated scores on the scales for paranoia and schizophrenia. Previously, she refused to discuss prior hospitalizations and health. However, this week she is ready to talk:
Well, I guess we are not strangers anymore. I told you before I was in the hospital and the last time was when I was 31. I was not in there for body aches. I was there because people thought I was crazy. Im a bit better now because I am in treatment. I have my moments when things are really bad. For example, I would hear voicessometimes I thought it was God, and I could hear Him just like I hear you. Other times I would have the television turned off but it would be talking to me anyway. I even started thinking my neighbors were poisoning my tap water, so I stopped showering and drinking. I got hospitalized because I was sure that God and my neighbors were working together to hurt me so they could put me in prison.
Pat stops a moment to catch her breath, and you notice that her arms are twitching a little. As you think back, you realize she has done that a lot since you have been getting to know her. Like I said, I only get that bad once in a while when I am not on my medication. However, I still sometimes hear things that arent there or worry that people are out to get me even with the treatment. Its just less.
For this assignment, focus on the social-cultural factors that affect Pats behavior.
