Question:
Beatrice, who has suffered from schizophrenia for most of her life, has been placed in a long-term residential facility. One night the worker decides to take the residents to a movie. The residents all get in the van to go to the movies, and the worker waits to leave until everyone has a seat and has fastened their seat belts. Beatrice finds a seat but complains that the seat belt does not fit, that she cannot fasten it around herself. The worker replies, “Well, if you didn’t eat so much, you wouldn’t be so fat. You always pig out at the table, and this is what you get. I guess you’re too fat to go to the movies tonight, Beatrice. Guess you’ll have to just stay home.”
