During this session we are meeting with a 52-year-old African-American female who is suffering from Bi Polar Disorder and is having episodes of psychotic fueled outbursts. This patient was involuntarily admitted on August 17th and is showing signs of aggressive behavior. In this interaction, our goals are to have them focus on one single task and to help them express their feelings. The problems that we encountered are that this individual is very defensive, blaming and delusional. As, she was focused on: who took her clothes, changing her doctor, why she was at the hospital and how she cannot do what she wants. This is important, because any one of these issues could lead to heated outbursts from the patient. As a result, we were able to sway her attention for only a short while. At which point, the patient would begin engaging in the same kinds of destructive behavior as before. (Lynch, 2011)

Over the course of time, this lead to behaviors / attitudes that were focused on: objectively understanding the scope of the problem and possible solutions for dealing with them. (Lynch, 2011)
The biggest differences were the overall scope of the treatment options that were recommended. Evidence of this can be seen by comparing
