Clinical Interview
Based on the information provided above, the case of the patient seems to point
on the direction of Paranoid Personality Disorder. Mr. Terence previous partner became
unfaithful to him and had an affair with another person. He believes that his previous
neighbor and his fellow patients, staffs and interns are out to deceive and steal his
belongings, additionally he interpret the actions of the people surrounding him in a
distorted manner that would justify his suspicion. As a result he is convinced that his
reputation is tarnished because of other people spreading rumors about him.
Consequently, he has doubts on the motives of other people to him thus avoiding to
confide his dilemmas and suspicions with other people. Hence he selectively interacts
with a few people only and has a difficult time getting along with others. However, he
does not experience any hallucination and his paranoid thought contents and beliefs are
typically-non bizarre.
