 The Case of Laurie The following case study is adapted from Pearson’s MyCounselingLab for Counseling Theories (Seligman & Reichenberg, 2014). Laurie presents as an intelligent young woman who attends the local college as a computer science major and is one month from graduation. She reports feeling overwhelmed, being uncertain about the future, and experiencing grief about the impending loss of her college friends and her social network. Historically, Laurie experiences bouts of anxiety and depression around periods of significant transition and has been diagnosed as having an adjustment disorder. The first time this occurred was soon after her best friend in high school was killed in a car accident. At the time, Laurie was unable to ride in cars and refused to attend school for fear she would be killed as well. Her academic performance was impacted, and she almost failed out of school. Another time Laurie had difficulty adjusting was when she went away to college for the first time. She became extremely depressed and was told by other freshmen she had the worst case of homesickness they’d ever seen. Laurie was able to manage her symptoms by socializing in the evening, focusing on her studies during the day, and relaxing on the weekends by reading famous novels. Laurie demonstrated her ability to compartmentalize her problems and focus on short-term goals in order to regain a feeling of control over her life. Reference: Seligman, L., & Reichenberg, L. W.
