The MMPI profile will be in the files. The T-Scores will also be provided in a photo in the files, in case they are difficult to see in the profile. T-scores over 65 are 1 and 1/2 standard deviations above the mean and are considered elevated.
Client Background: The client is a 53 year old, married, White woman. She was admitted to the hospital after waking up two days ago and not being able to use her left leg. She stated she tried getting up when she woke up and fell out of her bed. She looked at her leg and it seemed like it was not her leg and that she could not get it to do what she wanted.
She stated she also has a history of early childhood trauma, but never really experienced depression, anxiety, or PTSD symptoms. She was also admitted to the hospital in her early 20’s after a bout of random seizures. They seemed to have stopped after a few weeks and her doctors at the time where never able to identify the source of the seizures or explain why they stopped. Lastly, when I asked about notable history, she reported she had no memories from the 3rd-5th grade.
