- Abstract
There is minimal research that examines effective treatment for individuals diagnosed with Adjustment Disorder (AD) (O’Conner & Cartwright, 2012; Carta et al., 2009; Zelveine & Kazlauskas, 2018). The current case study aimed to examine the effectiveness of brief psychodynamic therapy as a treatment with a traditional aged college student diagnosed with AD. Specifically, the current case study examined an individual diagnosed with AD receiving weekly therapy in a college counseling center for a total of 6 sessions. The client was administered the CCAPS-62 on three separate occasions (e.g., before his intake session, after his third therapy session, and before his sixth and final therapy session). The RCI was calculated using pre, mid, and post mean ratings for each CCAPS-62 subscale. Cutoff scores were also calculated using means and standard deviations from normal and clinical populations, which were provided by the Center for Collegiate Mental Health (CCMH) annual report (2010). The client’s scores on some subscales (e.g., Social Anxiety, Eating Concerns, Hostility, and Substance Use) post treatment fell below cutoff points, suggesting the client ended treatment closer to the normal population than to the clinical population for those subscales. Results from the RCI suggest the client demonstrated reliable change on the Depression, Academic Distress, Family Distress, and Substance Use subscales from pre to mid treatment and on the Depression, Generalized Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Academic Distress, Family Distress, and Substance Use subscales from pre to post treatment.
