PSYC 3083 Chapter : Portfolio Assignment 3 Intake Evaluation
Document Summary
The patient, chandler black, has been referred to me by her primary care physician due to her reporting of long-term depressed mood, especially evident when brought on by stress. She is currently single, but in a long-term relationship. Chandler appears to be her stated age of 19. She is an attractive caucasian woman, tall and thin with reddish brown hair and blue eyes. She was well groomed and dressed appropriately for someone of her age in jeans and a clean looking white top. She greeted the interviewer with a polite hello and a handshake, however she appeared to be slightly nervous in her greeting as she avoided direct eye contact and looked towards the floor frequently. She was cooperative and attentive throughout the interview however, she seemed become more reserved and distant when asked about her presenting complaint as her tone of speech would lower, her responses shortened, and she again avoided eye contact.
