4 parameters of support for family evaluation - ANS-i. the availability for family to patient over
time
ii. The tangible services provided by the family to the patient
iii. The perception of family support by the patient and willingness of patient to cooperate with
them
iv. Tolerance by the family with specific behaviors that derive from the psychiatric disorder.
abstract thinking - ANS-interpret well-known proverb, "a rolling stone gathers no moss." Or more
accurately, classify objects in the same category. "What is the similarity between an apple and a
pear?" Fruit.
Acculturation - ANS-process of change in the cultures of 2 or more groups of individuals from
different cultures, resulting from their continuous first-hand contact
acting out - ANS-immature defense mechanism by which the person deals with emotional
conflicts or stressors through actions rather than through reflection or feelings
*SG: The direct expression of an unconscious wish or impulse in action to avoid being
conscious of the accompanying affect. The unconscious fantasy, involving objects, is lived out
and impulsively enacted in behavior, thus gratifying the impulse more than the prohibition
against it. On a chronic level, acting out involves giving in to impulses to avoid the tension that
would result from postponement of their expression.
Akathisia - ANS-motor restlessness, can't sit still
Alexithymia - ANS-a personality trait limiting a person's ability to understand and describe
emotions, or connecting to their experiences.
altruism - ANS-mature defense mechanism: The vicarious but constructive and instinctually
gratifying service to others, even to the detriment of the self. This must be distinguished from
altruistic surrender, which involves a masochistic surrender of direct gratification or of instinctual
needs in favor of fulfilling the needs of others to the detriment of the self, with vicarious
satisfaction only being gained through introjection.
, anticipation - ANS-mature defense mechanism; The realistic anticipation of or planning for
future inner discomfort: Implies overly concerned planning, worrying, and anticipation of dire and
dreadful possible outcomes.
Asceticism - ANS-severe self-discipline and avoidance of all forms of indulgence, typically for
religious reasons.
mature self defense mech: The elimination of directly pleasurable affects attributable to an
experience. The moral element is implicit in setting values on specific pleasures. Asceticism is
directed against all "base" pleasures perceived consciously, and gratification is derived from the
renunciation
avolition - ANS-lack of motivation
blocking - ANS-immature defense mechanism: An inhibition, usually temporary in nature, of
affects especially, but possibly also thinking and impulses. It is close to repression in its effects
but has a component of tension arising from the inhibition of the impulse, affect, or thought.
chief complaint during interview - ANS-patient's presenting complaint, in his/her own words. the
patient's reason for being evaluated
circumstantial speech - ANS-A pattern of speech characterized by indirectness and delay before
the person gets to the point or answers a question; the person gets caught up in countless
details and explanations.
*DT
clang associations - ANS-the stringing together of words that rhyme but have no other apparent
link
'oh mom, poor Mom, she's a calm, damn warm dam'
Confabulation - ANS-the unintended false recollection of episodic memories; isn't 'lying'
because patient seems to believe what he/she is saying
Controlling - ANS-neurotic defense mech: The excessive attempt to manage or regulate events
or objects in the environment in the interest of minimizing anxiety and solving internal conflicts.
cultural competence - ANS-having an awareness and acceptance of cultures and the ability to
interact effectively with people of diverse cultures
-set of congruent behaviors, attitudes, and policies found in a system, agency, or professionals
that enables them to work effectively in a context of cultural difference
Culture - ANS-integrated pattern of human behaviors including thoughts, communication,
actions, customs, beliefs, values, and institutions of a racial, ethnic, religious, or social nature
