Abstract

The following paper will present a clinical assessment of the subject, provided by a Mental State Examination (MSE), in order to produce a diagnosis consistent with the current ICD-10 and DSM-IV-TR classifications of psychiatric disorders. After determining a diagnosis of the patient's mental disorder, and presenting a summary of the clinical issues surrounding it, it will proceed to explore the developmental concerns associated with the client before determining an effective model of service delivery. Subsequently, the Canadian Model of occupational Performance (CMOP), developed by the Canadian Association of occupational Therapists, will be applied to the case study. The paper will outline and describe the proposed plan of clinical intervention for the patient, and will conclude with observations on the expected effectiveness and applicability of treatment.

Adrian is a nineteen year old Australian male displaying symptoms consistent with the onset of early-episode psychosis. He has reportedly become increasing withdrawn in the past six months, displaying an erratic and declining attendance at his university studies and a failing to attend his examinations. Adrian has demonstrated stable, paranoid delusional thoughts, including auditory hallucinations, claiming that Australian Security Intelligence Organization (ASIO) agents were conspiring to assume his identity and to kill him.
