📚Background

Holden has just been admitted to a psychiatric hospital in Hollywood and doctors are at a complete loss. He is unsure why he was admitted and doctors cannot settle on a diagnosis. Holden is one of the most unique cases they have ever seen and they have conducted test after test, with all results being inconclusive.


🔍Your Task 

Using your knowledge of Holden and psychoanalytic theory, perform a psychiatric assessment of Holden to then diagnose him and ultimately develop a treatment plan. You will present your findings and conclusions to your fellow colleagues (classmates). Your head diagnostician (Ms. MacQueen) will then decide whose diagnosis and treatment plan they will move forward with.
