Dоctоrаl Quаlifying Exаminatiоn Austin Cole (U30111113) Summer 2023 Day 2 (School Psychology Specialization Area) Please read the following scenario and respond to each of the questions below it. Chloe is a 14 year-old freshman at Milton High School, a public high school that also includes an Advanced Placement (AP) Capstone program. She has participated in AP classes since entering high school. Chloe was referred to the student assistance team (SAT) by teachers who were concerned with her lack of concentration in class, irritability, self-harming behavior, and frequent verbal expressions of worry about common events (e.g., performance on papers and group projects, fear of tests, and over concern with eventual college admissions). When you review Chloe’s cumulative folder, you learn from a previous psychological report conducted in elementary school that she achieved a full scale score of 141 on the WISC and was subsequently identified as intellectually gifted. You also learn that she lives with her biological parents. The father immigrated to the United States from China during childhood, and is currently a university professor. Her mother is also of Asian descent, and is a homemaker. Chloe has one older sister—Amy—who is a sophomore at Harvard University. No history of assessment, diagnosis, or treatment of emotional or behavior problems is noted in the folder, although the report noted Chloe’s mother has a history of anxiety for which she has not received any treatment. Other information from the cumulative folder includes that she has perfect attendance, was president of her class in the 8th grade, and has maintained a 4.0 grade point average since the 6th grade. Additionally, she was served in gifted education (one day per week pull-out model) from second through eighth grades. In your first meeting with Chloe, she expresses surprise her teachers had concerns. She explains that she is a straight-A student. When asked about concerns, Chloe noted that she feels that she can never measure up to her parents’ expectations or her older sister’s accomplishments. She believes that she is “not really smart” but is an exceptionally hard worker, which is why she is in the AP Capstone program. She expressed a desire to “be perfect” like her sister, and to make her grandparents proud (she talks to them via FaceTime regularly; they reside in Beijing). She also noted that she often feels like a failure because she has to work hard to earn good grades whereas academics seemed to come so easily to her sister. She notes her self-injurious behavior (cutting her arms) typically occurs when she is worried about upcoming tests; she said, however, that she doesn’t have alternative ways to handle the stress. She took dance classes sporadically in elementary and middle school, but stopped because she did not feel her interest in hip-hop was supported by her parents. Chloe seems receptive to getting help to address some difficulties with her friends, parents, and physical functioning. Regarding friendships, she reported she is increasingly isolated from her old peer group. She stated, “all they care about is boys”, and noted she does not date due to her fears about (1) talking to boys and (2) the possible negative impact on her schoolwork if she spends any time on relationships. She has not developed any close friends in her AP classes, and spends her lunch time alone, completing schoolwork. Chloe tearfully noted that she feels like no one could possibly understand the pressure she is under to excel academically. Regarding her parents, she reported that her mother tells her daily that she must excel in high school in order to get into a good college, something she herself was unable to achieve. Chloe would like to attend a school close to home like USF but believes her parents will only be satisfied if she gets into an Ivy League school like her sister. Chloe’s mother demands she study several hours a night and insists she does so in the presence of her parents so they can immediately assist when Chloe’s homework becomes at all difficult. Chloe’s mother has also set a very early curfew, presented as necessary to protect Chloe from “teenage boys with hormones.” Last, regarding physical functioning, Chloe said “I’m always tense, my stomach hurts a lot, my arms are cut up, and I can’t fall asleep…at night, I just can’t stop thinking about my schoolwork. I feel like I can never relax.” When asked about positive affective experiences, Chloe noted she does not laugh or smile often, but did used to feel energized during hip hop dance. Her feelings of pride about her academic accomplishments occur less often than feelings of nervousness and fear of failure or embarrassment. ----- Day #2 (School Psychology Specialization Area) ---- In your role at Milton High School, you have the opportunity to support Chloe, her teaching staff, and her parents. Your response today should consider the affective, biological, cognitive, developmental, and social aspects of behavior relevant to conceptualizing Chloe’s current behavior (hypotheses developed in Day 1), and ultimately supporting Chloe directly through clinical services. Today, you need to decide how to treat Chloe through comprehensive school-based psychotherapy. Please cite empirical literature (author only, no date needed) to support your response. 1. What data would you collect in a clinical intake, using which methods?2. What is your preliminary case conceptualization (including working diagnosis)? 3. What treatment approach(s) would you use with Chloe? Why?4. What would you include in the treatment plan with regard to structure and content?5. Who besides Chloe will you include in the treatment plan (e.g., parents, community, peer group, school staff) and in what ways? 6. What ethical issues do you anticipate that could potentially arise in this case?7. How would you monitor response to therapy and treatment outcomes, including her quality of life?
