Problem: Case of Stephen
Stephen is a 60-year-old man who returned to see you 2 weeks after the death of his 24-year-old son. The young man was tragically killed in a car accident. Stephen was very close to his son and immediately felt crushed, like life had lost meaning. In the ensuing 2 weeks. he felt constantly sad, withdrew from his usual social life, and could not concentrate on his work. You tell him that he is struggling with grief and that such a reaction is normal. Stephen was to return for ongoing assessment. By the sixth week of visiting you, his symptoms had worsened. He started to become preoccupied that he should have been the one to die, not his son. He had trouble falling asleep but also tended to wake up at 4:30 AM and stare at the ceiling, feeling overwhelmed with fatigue and sadness.
