CASE SUMMARY -Video Demonstrating Functional Analysis:

This 20-year-old woman left home at the age of 16 because of physical and sexual abuse she suffered from her stepfather. Since leaving home she has connected with a drug supplier, and she have been using and selling drugs, including Oxycontin, some crack cocaine and Ecstasy to people in the neighborhood. She has an iPhone and a long list of clients and transaction dates which she keeps well organized. She drinks about a pint of vodka per day, usually starting in the late afternoon. She uses “Oxy” and cocaine to party. She comes back to her apartment at about 3 am each night and then sleep until 2 pm or so. However, sometimes she wakes up in strange places, and she has no memory of what happened. Last week her clothes were ripped, and she found herself in an abandoned home, and she felt that she had been raped. She went to the Emergency Room, but could not provide a history of the event, so she decided to leave without being seen. She now comes to the Women’s Center to be seen, because she is worried that she has an STD. Alexi is interviewed by a clinician following her intake.
