Arthur Kelinman developed the explanatory model of illness which incorporates a series of questions that is unique to a patient’s illness to develop a treatment plan. This model assesses how patient illnesses are associated with the environment and the culture around them, while also “seeking the how, why, what, when, where, and what next of illness, disease, and health experience” (“Explanatory Model”).

This book is divided into seven chapters, each chapter describes the history of diseases in a particular era. Chapter One: Prehistory, Chapter Two: Antiquity, Chapter Three: The Dark and Middle Ages, Chapter Four: The New World, Chapter

She also talks about the process of receiving the diagnosis of ASD, as well as a previous diagnosis that was incorrect. Xavier’s mother first noticed something different while comparing his development, mainly his speech, to that of her nephew who was around the same age as her son. She claims that he wasn’t talking at all at the age of 1 ½ and that concerned her. Xavier’s doctor said his speech was probably delayed and suggested a speech therapist as early intervention. His mother claims that he didn’t outwardly appear Autistic to her because he wasn’t withdrawn. She also claims that

My experience in mental health clinical was very different from any other clinical I had before. In a mental health clinical setting, I am not only treating client’s mental illnesses, I am also treating their medical problems such as COPD, diabetes, chronic renal failure, etc. Therefore, it is important to prepare for the unexpected events. In this mental health clinical, I learned that the importance of checking on my clients and making sure that they are doing fine by performing a quick head-to toes assessment at the beginning of my shift.
