Case 15.1 discusses Bobby Jones, a nine-year-old African American boy. He is in the fourth grade at Lewiston Elementary School. He is being raised by his mother Susan and has five siblings. Recently, Bobby’s teacher, Ms. Matthews has had some concerns regarding his behavior. She stated that he is disruptive, never completes his work and that he is very negative when it comes to school (Pomeroy, 2015). Based off of the information provide in case 15.1, Bobby presents with many of the symptoms and behaviors that are consistent with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (F91.3), and the severity is moderate. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, DSM-5, ODD involves a frequent pattern of angry/irritable moods, vindictiveness,

1. There are a few boundary issues that need to be addressed. The social worker developed a personal relationship with Bea. Bea was in need of additional income, she wanted to find a female to rent her spare room to. The social worker had a friend, “a woman who might be interested” renting the room (Hoffman, & St. Clair, 2003, p. 46). She asked for permission to let her friend know of the room, asking to releasing Bea’s information was appropriate. The boundary issue is that the social worker should have not even offered her friend as an option to rent the room. This situation becomes a conflict of interest and cross the boundaries of social worker and client (NASW, 2008, p. 7). In addition to this situation the social worker admitted to having

Keith Foster a former deputy police chief was sentenced to four years in prison for being a corrupt police officer that was profiting off of selling drugs. I do believe that since he is an officer of all that they gave him some sort of leeway. For example, Foster had three days to show up at the Denver prison by himself. If I were to get arrested I would have to be processed with the rest of the felons and be transported on a bus with other inmates. The fact that he was able to take himself shows that he already has special treatment, just because the title he used to have. I think that the reason why he was able to go on his own to prison is because he is a former police officer and he mostly has a higher risk of getting hurt while in prison.

This paper examines the case study about Sarah Burke. A case study analysis form was completed and symptoms were identified. Identification of certain diagnostic criteria were interpreted and clarified for the exhibiting individual. Illumination of criteria for proposed diagnosis lead to the discussion which resolves the risk factors and clinical features associated with the diagnosis. Recognition of certain symptoms and criteria brought to light other possible comorbidities. Cumulative risk theory, as well as, the diathesis stress model were investigated for possible involvement in the Burke disorder development. Multidimensional factors related to the onset and maintenance of her symptoms are deliberated; as well as, how her culture played a role. In the end, a conclusion is given about suggested pre- and post- treatment, overall benefits of those treatments, and prognosis outlooks.

Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), opposition defiant disorder (ODD), and conduct disorder (CD) are three distinct disorders based upon their respective diagnostic criteria in the DSM-5. If ODD and CD were mild forms of ASPD, then there would need to be causal relationship between the childhood manifestations of ODD and CD and the adult manifestation of ASPD. There is evidence of comorbidity between ODD and CD, and also evidence to suggest that children diagnosed with these disorders may go on to develop ASPD later in life; however, correlation does not equal causation. The three disorders have subtle but important differences in their associated behaviors, underlying causes, treatment outcomes, and neurological signs.
