2-2 Final Project Milestone One: Draft of Introduction and Data Analysis Kimberlyn Boddie PSY-335 Assessment and Testing 01/21/2024 Introduction and Data Analysis: Client’s Case Client Information/History/Consent During the psychological examination, Barbara B., a 22-year-old college graduate, was seeking a new position as an entry-level account representative at a prominent advertising firm. The client voluntarily requested a psychiatric examination due to the observation of diminished energy levels and persistent exhaustion lasting about four weeks. She has expressed a decline in her inclination to engage in social activities and carry out her regular daily tasks, such as physical exercise. She is experiencing doubt over her career decision and is struggling to maintain focus on her tasks. A psychological evaluation was requested to get more information on Barbara B.'s current level of functioning. Barbara B. voluntarily sought assessment, expressing that she has been experiencing fatigue and a lack of energy for around four weeks.
