Jennifer Duchoff
Imagine you are a volunteer at a HELPLINE organization affiliated with a Student Health Clinic at a university in the Philadelphia area. You are asked to interview Jennifer, a young woman who has come by requesting to see someone. You will learn about her life and problems via her patient records. You can ask her questions and view videos of her answers. If you are completing these SuperShrink interviews as part of a class assignment, see your instructor for specific instructions on how to write up a diagnostic or case formulation based on what you have learned here.
Five file folders include specific information about Jennifer and/or questions that will help you uncover information as you interview her. This program allows you to navigate freely among the categories, questions, and information, as you wish.
