James
- Description:
- Borderline personality disorder and DBT Welcome to today's scenario. We will again be using a virtual patient to explore some issues in mental health communications. The cases will work best for you if treat this virtual patient as you would a real patient. This case study includes content related to mental illness and addcitions. Sometimes these discussions can trigger unresolved personal experiences. If you need support please reach out to your family, physician, local ditress center, or if this is an emergency please go to your local emergecy department. James is a 30 year old male. Throughout his twenties he struggled to keep a job for longer than a couple months. James has also had one prior admission to an acute mental health unit for a failed suicide attempt. He had tried to hang himself from the garage ceiling using a belt, but his partner at the time found him after getting home from work and cut him down. It was noted that during this prior admission, James shared several different stories about why he tried to kill himself with the healthcare team. He had also threatened to report the nursing staff to the unit manager if they did not meet his needs and frequently engaged in self-harm behaviors on the unit. These behaviors included cutting his forearms with a razor and banging his head when he became emotionally dysregulated.
Notes: README on what to do with these files ----------------------------------------------- You have downloaded an OLab zip file. See the second zip file contained within this download. Extract it and save it as a single zip file so this can be imported into an existing OpenLabyrinth v3 or OLab4 server. You do not need to expand this second zip file -- the import process will expand the contents into the correct locations on the OLab server. What are OLab scenarios? An OLab virtual scenario is a case or story, or it might be a wee test to challenge your learners. It might be a simple 3-step set of pages and questions. It might be a complex choose-your-own-adventure style of branching narrative. Why do I need an OLab server? To simply play the original scenario, look at the metadata in the Dataverse that you downloaded this zip from. There will be a link to a playable version - for this, you only need a web browser. (No software download needed.) But if you want to be able to edit the scenario, examine how it was crafted or use it as a template on which to build a new one, you start with this zip file and import it into an OLab server. You will need an account on that OLab server that gives you author privileges. If you do not have an account, contact us using the contact information given in the metadata in the Dataverse. How do I import this scenario into an OLab server? There are more detailed instructions available in the OLab User Guide. Briefly the steps are as follows: 1. Login to your OLab server as usual. 2. Under the Labyrinths or Maps menu, click on Import 3. Tell the server which zip file to import. 4. It should only take a few seconds to import most zip files. More complex scenarios might take a couple of minutes at most. 5. When imported, the scenario should appear in your list of Labyrinths or Maps. - , , Cullen, Michelle, and Topps, David
