Case Study #3: Under Surveillance
Mr. Simpson is a 44 year old single, unemployed, white man brought to the
emergency room by the police for striking an elderly woman in his apartment
building. His chief complaint is, That damn bitch. She and the rest of them
deserve more than that for what they put me through.
Mr. Simpson has been continuously ill since the age of 22. During his first
year of law school, he gradually became more and more convinced that his
classmates were making fun of him. When a girl he was dating broke off the
relationship, he believed that she had been replaced by a clone. He
eventually dropped out of law school. He has been hospitalized 12 times
since then. During hospitalization, he has received various anti-psychotic
drugs, but usually stops taking them after a few months.
Currently, Mr. Simpson maintains that his apartment is the center of a large
communication system that involves all three major television networks, his
neighbors, and hundreds of actors. While he is watching TV, many of his
minor actions (going to the bathroom or getting a snack) are soon directly
commented on by the television announcers. When he goes outside, the
actors keep him under surveillance and everyone on the street watches him.
Mr. Simpson believes that the actors are responsible for all of his voices,
