1. Identify what interview questions you would have used to determine the underlying eating disorder, self-mutilation, and rape.
2. Using the interpersonal therapy model, identify three specific goals for Miriam’s treatment, and in which phase each goal should be accomplished.
3. Sarah, Miriam’s mother, asks why you are choosing interpersonal therapy and how it will be beneficial for Miriam. How do you respond? Compare and contrast it with humanistic-existential or solution-focused psychotherapy.
4. What are the legal and ethical implications for you relative to a patient reporting a sexual assault? What is the best way for you to proceed? Reference your state of practice’s laws.
