On one occasion a service user (S.U) was distressed so kept pulling the buzzer. I asked on a few occasions if she needed any help but refused to tell me what was wrong. A member of staff came and asked the S.U what was wrong in a calm and reassuring tone to show the S.U that she was there to help. The S.U told the member of staff that she was upset as during the night the nurse didn’t come to see her very often during the night and she couldn’t get in touch with her partner as he wouldn’t answer the phone.

Since Janet couldn’t make it to meetings they gave her what was “left over” and didn’t even keep her in mind. Janet was a hard worker and wanted to contribute to the group, but since she had been pre classified by her group she couldn’t fit in the way she wanted to. Life was basically a struggle for Janet and being in a group that did not consider her struggle made her feel more alone than ever. She finally snapped over the cafeteria incident. She stopped to get something to eat and saw her whole group meeting without her, she felt extremely unappreciated and knew the group members didn’t respect her contributions.
Once concerned that she was an elderly woman with these feelings and more drive than shes ever had, she saw a specialists confused.

She now is being treated as though suffering from Alzheimer’s.
Recently, I was called down to the hotel’s Human Resources Department to be interviewed concerning how impossible the feud has become. I was asked to give some insight into the character of both ladies because the situation had progressed to the point of needing disciplinary action to be taken. Initially, I did not want anything to do with the situation. I would allow both women to vent to me when they needed to but as far as reporting their behavior to management I refused to be involved in. When I was told by my manager that Human
The author of the article explains her experience with the DisDAT and its use on a patient she had with a learning disorder and the final stages of dementia. She says that some patients cannot communicate verbally, which is the best way to communicate, and so this tool helps with the determining the nonverbal signs of what the patient might be experiencing. The tool does not explain why the patient is in distress, just that they are showing signs of distress. It is then up to the professionals to decide what the causes are of their patient’s condition and what to do about their patient. The downside to this tool is that it’s developers aren’t sure how reliable the machine is in accurately interpreting patient’s signs.
Due to her reclusive behavior and lack of human interaction she has fallen into recession, not bothering with outdoor activities or socialization. These symptoms in conjunction with the proximate birth of her daughter have made it seem clear that Sofia is suffering from postpartum disorder. As a result of this, it was recommended that Sofia seek out a therapist or counselor. The function of the therapist is to promote the patient’s analysis which directs towards having the client experience themselves and their motivations, working to better understand that which is within, both values, assumptions, and ideals (Mulhauser). While there are a many possible process through which counseling may be sought, that of person-centered theory or client-centered therapy is that which is most relevant to Sofia.
