Jenny Psych Analysis
Jenny’s Diagnosis
Brianna Johnson
Psychology 101
Cassie was a woman I recently read an article on. She was an average collage student who lived on the campus at a university and balanced schoolwork with a workload, and a somewhat social life. However, Cassie was anything like anybody else. She had such rage in her about such small things she was unable to finish her schoolwork. It wasn’t until the middle of her junior semester of school did she drop out and never come back. That also happened to be the year Cassie was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. So when reading Jenny’s case I really related it to Cassie’s story. This twenty-six year old is experiencing such outrageous irrational rage I believe she also suffers from borderline personality disorder. Jenny was brought to me after she was convinced to commit a felony to malicious property. She did this by taking her boyfriends SUV and ramming it rapidity into a small beetle. At this time she of course appeared well dressed and coherently all in tacked. So she certainly wasn’t suffering from any delusions like schizophrenia. When she confined in me that she felt as if she was over weight I instantly thought of control issues with her past record of bulimia. She’s currently been fired from two jobs due to her verbal outrage and no longer talks to her parents. It wasn’t until I talked to her boyfriend that I was convinced she was suffering from borderline personality disorder. Things just didn’t add up after talking to Jenny’s boyfriend and hearing that they’ve only known each other as casual work acquaintances for three years and have only dated for a few weeks. Jenny’s reasoning of ramming her car into the bug was just how angry she was that her boyfriend she’s been with for three years let her down again. Obviously, the two stories didn’t add up but what did was that Jenny suffers from borderline
