1Psychology Department, Hospital for Special Care, 2150 Corbin Avenue, New Britain, CT 06053, USA.
Abstract:
A decision tree and decimal rating scales were used for psychotherapy with a patient with post-stroke subcortical motor aphasia. These two methods used in combination were highly efficient in obtaining information about the patient's mood and issues of concern. The patient was able to report on changing levels of anxiety and depression. He was able to relate his emotional state to environmental or personal factors. Values as low as 1 and as high as 10 for anxiety and depression were reported by the patient during the course of 25 psychotherapy sessions. A Pearson correlation indicated that anxiety and depression varied independently.
