CLINICAL CASE STUDIES VOLUME THREE: TRAGEDY IN PSYCHIATRY

Our clinical cases series have been mainly short cases with several on the disc. Clinical Cases Three is different in that there is only a single case concerning one patient and her family.

Working in Psychiatry presents unique challenges and this highlights some of them. There are lessons here for all mental health care workers, especially students.

The presentation lasts nearly one hour and includes interviews with the patient and her mother. The diagnostic problems are highlighted and discussed with senior staff. One of the commonest worries students have is knowing what to do when disaster strikes and this is fully explored. Sometimes there are no easy answers.

There are DVD extras that show the interviews uncut and allow a lecturer to make use of very powerful material. During production the test audiences have been pretty consistent in their responses with words such as powerful, thought provoking and shocking consistently appearing. The lessons are clear and not forgotten.

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DEFENCE MECHANISMS

    Beginning with denial, the first case depicts a normal reaction to loss; a wife cannot believe her husband is dead. Another example shows a smoker in a hospital bed. He has gangrene of his right foot; it is clear to the visiting doctor that it will require amputation below the knee the same as his left foot. He denies this and tries to convince us that he is getting better - yet amputation tomorrow will be the evitable outcome. A very thin, anorexic patient tells us that she needs to be six or seven pounds lighter is another illustration of denial.

    Projection, regression and repression are presented in a similar manner - progressing from the normal use as a coping mechanism to the more pathological defence mechanism.

    TWO CASES OF SCHIZOPHRENIA: AN ILLUSTRATED LECTURE

    One of the core conditions managed in general adult psychiatry. Two cases are presented with the emphasis on understanding the symptoms and progress of the illness. In the textbook, the mental state examination seems straightforward, but in the real world of busy clinical medicine most people find it confusing.

    Case One: Patient describes her psychotic experiences, typical of those seen in this condition. At the case presentation one of the doctors describes the mental state examination and this is a good example of the standard expected in an examination setting.

    Case Two: Here the patient is seen in three interviews spread over a period of time and it is instructive to see the changing mental state. The florid thought disorder seen in interview one is much improved. Discussion is wide ranging and discusses the importance of doctor patient relationships. Additional features include interviews with community nurses in the UK and abroad.

    For Rita, her bird phobia had led to severe avoidance behaviour, affecting many aspects of her life and relationships. As a result, she felt very depressed. This programme follows her successful treatment at the Cardinal Clinic using behavioural psychological techniques.

    TEACHING ABOUT ALCOHOLISM

    Alcoholism (or should it be called "problem drinking"?) is a subject that all health care staff should know and understand. The programme has been made for a student audience and can be viewed at the beginning of a clinical attachment or used in formal teaching sessions.

    Part One: "Alcoholism - the Interviews" consists of an explanation of clinical features and theoretical perspectives. The points made are illustrated with clinical examples.

    Part Two: "Approaches to the Problem Drinker" is designed to give a short cut to the knowledge we call clinical experience. It is very practical and makes no apology for labouring the important points - such as when somebody might be better of in hospital. It is clearly divided into sections, such as initial contact, detoxification, treatment options and covers issues such as self-help groups and controlled drinking. The points are all illustrated with candid and frank comments from patients. The programme concludes with a review of primary prevention.
