Has Billy suffered any recent stressors that could account for his symptoms? Did his symptom pattern precede or follow the stressful life events?
What will be an ideal response?
Billy has recently disclosed sexual abuse that went on during a recent six-month period. However, to make the criteria for an adjustment disorder, the behaviors would have had to start shortly after (within three months) of the stressful life event, and, according to Mrs. Bronsky, Billy has been exhibiting the pattern of behaviors (oppositionality, poor school performance, bedwetting, and encopresis) since he was a young child.
