Question

Here attached Ben's case study:

Ben is the oldest child in a sib-ship of three. His father had frequent bouts of psychotic behavior while Ben was growing up. He often witnessed intense angry outbursts from his father that seemed to come out of nowhere. Throughout his childhood, his mother emphasized that he must be careful about making mistakes and impressed upon him that he was different from other people. In high school he was noted to be a troublemaker and often got into physical altercations with other students. His frequent defense was that they were “ganging up on me.” He did very well academically and believed he was intellectually superior to his teachers. He was once under investigation by the local police because his neighbor reported that he continuously let her dog out of the fenced yard as he constantly complained that she let it out to specifically bark and annoy him. He never held a job very long although he did earn several advanced degrees. He was once fired because after being passed up for a promotion he verbally attacked his co-worker, who was promoted, accusing him of stealing his ideas. Ben avoids crowds and social events. He attributes this to his mistrust of people and feeling as though he always has to watch his back. He was married once which ended quickly in divorce after he constantly accused his wife of cheating even though he sought ways to be with her almost 24 hours a day. He has only one close friend who describes Ben as “tense and ready to pounce at the smallest perceived slight.” He indicates they get along well as long as they do what Ben wants and on his terms.
