Problem: What are the mechanisms that are maintaining or perpetuating the author's symptoms? In other words, why isn't the person getting better? Do you see any Models of Abnormality that are acting as both etiology and maintenance factors (things that caused the symptoms and are keeping them going)?• Did the author receive any treatment for the symptoms? Why or why not? What kind of treatment did the author receive and why?• How did the author react to receiving mental health treatment? Was the treatment helpful, harmful, or both? Think about both changes to their symptoms and their general well-being.• Why do you think the author chose to share this story? What about this memoir could be helpful to others? To whom would you want to gift this memoir and why?
