1. Review the following case study:
Case Study 3 — Frank: Practicing Psychology
Frank is a licensed psychologist in a new solo private practice. He’s having trouble attracting clients with health insurance, which is needed to pay for his considerable professional fees. Because Frank has expensive office overhead and a limited practice, he is anxious about being able to pay his bills and maintain his practice. He knows private practice can be challenging, but he is proud to be able to tell his friends and colleagues that he is a successful psychologist in private practice.
Frank has all of his clients complete psychological tests to objectively measure their symptoms. A new client shares thoughts and feelings of helplessness and the need for support from others, which, on the surface, sounds like Major Depression, a condition that would be covered by his health insurance. He also meets all the criteria for Dependent Personality Disorder, a pervasive condition that is difficult to treat &mdash and is not covered by his health insurance.
