Case History OneArthur A. Presenting issue:Arthur, a 12-year-old seventh-grader, was referred by his parents at his teachers' request because of his difficulty in maintaining his focus in class. Although he previously made good academic progress, his grades and his participation in class have declined during the current year. His work is described as incomplete and poorly organized. Arthur is often seen as inattentive in his academic classes, although he is an active participant in his physical education classes. He often appears tired in his late afternoon classes, and his parents note that he often does not fall asleep until midnight or 1 a.m. At home, it is noted that he frequently loses his belongings and has difficulty completing chores. He is argumentative and has quick changes in mood. He has begun to have increasing conflicts with his parents over his grades and conduct, particularly with his father. Psychological assessment was requested by Arthur's parents and teacher to assess his present functioning and to aid in planning interventions for him at home and school.
