According to the social worker, Jason was a witness to family violence from an early age. Jason’s family was well known to Social Services, and Jason has been in care several times in the past for reported neglect and possible abuse. Shortly after Jason and his brother re joined their parents 2 years ago, Jason’s father shot his mother and then himself, while Jason and his younger brother slept in an adjoining bedroom. Jason has been receiving play therapy for the past 2years. Jason continues to have trouble sleeping and is often agitated and restless. In relationships, his behavior vacillates between being overly inhibited (shy and withdrawn) or disinhibited (socially precocious). His ability to sustain his attention and concentration is impaired, and he is often forgetful and appears disorganized.
Jason’s provisional diagnosis is chronic post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but an attachment disorder(reactive attachment disorder [RAD] or disinhibited social engagement disorder[DSED]) and ADHD also needs to be ruled out.
