I want you to complete the case study I've started. I want you to add about 8 more pages, double spaced. I will upload my paper and the example paper. What my teacher wants: For each theory, present your understanding of your person’s psychological problems (and general personality, if that is relevant to the theory you are discussing) in terms of the theory. You may want to go through the various parts of the theory as presented in our textbook (the theory’s concept of personality and notion of a pathological/dysfunctional individual) and show how these ideas do or do not apply to your case. The main point of this part of the paper is to show your understanding of the theories and how those theories apply to your case study. After presenting both theoretical formulations, spend some time discussing how the two theories compare and contrast with each other and which one you think does a better job of capturing the person’s problems and character (and why you think that). Finally, identify which theory you would utilize for this person and how you might approach treatment (what would their psychotherapy consist of?).
