question 26

Essay

Clinical assessment uses four methods. Briefly describe how each would be used in collecting information on the following hypothetical client:
Mara is a 16-year-old who is angry and anxious at home and in school but seems relatively happy among her friends when shopping or doing other leisure activities. She seems extremely bright to her teachers but is receiving poor grades because she seems distracted and unable to recall facts. Her interest in boys has been almost obsessive recently; she fantasizes about being saved from her horrible parents by someone who will marry and whisk her away.
