Put your knowledge and skills to the test with the case of a patient who is deaf and self-signing. What challenges would arise in a situation such as this? How would you interview and complete a psych assessment of this patient?
The patient also "is withdrawn and says she is 18 months pregnant. She signs to herself; an interpreter says she uses unintelligible signs and poor syntax". Can you make the diagnosis or come up with a treatment plan?
