CASE EXAMPLE – CASE OF LEON

Paranoid Personality Disorder (PPD)[301.0 (F60.0)]Paranoid personality disorder (PPD) is characterized by a pattern of distrust and suspicious-ness of others, whose motives and intentions are perceived as malicious. These perceptions begin in early adulthood and are present in a number of situations. Those with PPD assume the ill intent of others and believe that others might exploit, harm, or deceive them. At times, they may believe others have seriously injured them when there is no evidence that an injury has taken place (APA, 2013).

Leon has gotten up late this morning and suspects that someone who was meaning him harm interfered with his alarm clock so that he would be late for work (CriterionA1). He thinks it is Morgan at work, who he believes wants to make him look bad before his boss so that he will be fired (A6). When he arrives an hour late at work, he is greeted by the receptionist, Mary, who says, “Good morning, Leon”(A4). She was trying to be friendly, but Leon thinks she is trying to get him in trouble with the boss by making a scene so the boss will know he is late. Morgan, who believes she is a good friend of Leon, greets him. He ignores Morgan and goes to his workstation. He is thinking of how disloyal Morgan has been (A2). Leon notices his boss, Jacob, and Morgan were whispering about something. He believes they are discussing his tardiness this morning and plotting to write him up(A1andA2). He cannot contain himself any longer and confronts his boss about his conversation with Morgan. The boss tells him they were planning a surprise for a coworker who was celebrating her 50th birthday. Leon does not believe his boss. This incident adds to his grudge against Morgan, whom he cannot forgive for meddling with his alarm clock (A5). In reviewing this case, Leon meets five of the diagnostic criteria (A1, A2, A4, A5, and A6) for a diagnosis of PPD. People with PPD commonly blame others for their own failures. Cultural considerations in diagnosing this disorder may have to do with immigrant groups who do not understand the dominant culture, may experience language barriers, or may not understand rules and regulations of the new country. Several ethnic groups may also display behaviors that might be incorrectly mis-interpreted as paranoia (APA, 2013). Persons with PPD can be very difficult to treat in psychotherapy because of their chronic suspiciousness and perception of attacks on their character (Dobbert, 2007).

Organization, Effectiveness, and Format
Layout The layout is cluttered, confusing, and does not use spacing, headings, and subheadings to enhance the readability. The text is extremely difficult to read with long blocks of text, small point size for fonts, and inappropriate contrasting colors. Poor use of headings, subheadings, indentations, or bold formatting is evident. The layout shows some structure but appears cluttered and busy or distracting with large gaps of white space or a distracting background. Overall readability is difficult due to lengthy paragraphs, too many different fonts, dark or busy background, overuse of bold, or lack of appropriate indentations of text. The layout uses horizontal and vertical white space appropriately. Sometimes the fonts are easy to read, but in a few places the use of fonts, italics, bold, long paragraphs, color, or busy background detracts and does not enhance readability. The layout background and text complement each other and enable the content to be easily read. The fonts are easy to read and point size varies appropriately for headings and text. The layout is visually pleasing and contributes to the overall message with appropriate use of headings, subheadings, and white space. Text is appropriate in length for the target audience and to the point. The background and colors enhance the readability of the text.
Language Use and Audience Awareness (includes sentence construction, word choice, etc.) Inappropriate word choice and lack of variety in language use are evident. Writer appears to be unaware of audience. Use of primer prose indicates writer either does not apply figures of speech or uses them inappropriately. Some distracting inconsistencies in language choice (register) or word choice are present. The writer exhibits some lack of control in using figures of speech appropriately. Language is appropriate to the targeted audience for the most part. The writer is clearly aware of audience, uses a variety of appropriate vocabulary for the targeted audience, and uses figures of speech to communicate clearly. The writer uses a variety of sentence constructions, figures of speech, and word choice in distinctive and creative ways that are appropriate to purpose, discipline, and scope.
Mechanics of Writing (includes spelling, punctuation, grammar, language use) Slide errors are pervasive enough that they impede communication of meaning. Frequent and repetitive mechanical errors distract the reader. Some mechanical errors or typos are present, but they are not overly distracting to the reader. Slides are largely free of mechanical errors, although a few may be present. Writer is clearly in control of standard, written, academic English.
Documentation of Sources (citations, footnotes, references, bibliography, etc., as appropriate to assignment and style) Sources are not documented. Documentation of sources is inconsistent or incorrect, as appropriate to assignment and style, with numerous formatting errors. Sources are documented, as appropriate to assignment and style, although some formatting errors may be present.
