Develop a treatment plan for Mike. Your final document should be at least 2-3 pages and adhere to APA standards, including in text citations. Please visit the Academic Resource Center for concise APA guidelines.Mike is a 20-year-old male who has just recentlybeen released from jail. Mike is technically onprobation for car theft, though he has beeninvolved in crime to a much greater extent.Mike has been identified as a cocaine user andhas been suspected, though not convicted, fordealing cocaine. Mike has been tested for drugsby his probation department and was foundpositive for cocaine. The county has mandatedthat Mike receive drug counseling but the drugcounselor has referred Mike to your officebecause the drug counselor suspects that Mikehas issues beyond simple drug addiction. Infact, the drug counselor’s notes suggest thatMike has Narcissistic personality disorder.Mike seems to have little regard for thefeelings of others. Coupled with this is his com-plete sensitivity to the comments of others. Infact, his prior fiancé has broken off her relation-ship with him due to what she calls his “constantneed for admiration and attention. He is com-pletely self-centered.” After talking with Mike,you quickly find that he has no close friends. Ashe talks about people who have been close tohim, he discounts them for one imperfection oranother. These imperfections are all consideredsevere enough to warrant dismissing the personentirely.Mike makes a point of noting how manyhave betrayed their loyalty to him or have other-wise failed to give him the credit that he deserves.When asked about getting caught in theauto theft, he remarks that “well my dumb partner got me out of a hot situation by driv-ing me out in a stolen get-a-way car.” (Wordon the street has it that Mike was involved in asour drug deal and was unlikely to have madeit out alive if not for his partner.) Mike adds,“you know, I plan everything out perfectly,but you just cannot rely on anybody . . . ifyou want it done right, do it yourself.”Mike recently has been involved withanother woman (unknown to his prior fiancé)who has become pregnant. When she toldMike he said “tough, you can go get an abor-tion or something, it isn’t like we were in loveor something.”Then he laughed at her and toldher to go find some other guy who wouldshack up with her.Incidentally, Mike is a very attractiveman and he likes to point that out on occasion.“Yeah, I was going to be a male model in L. A.,but my agent did not know what he wasdoing . . . could never get things settled outright . . . so I had to fire him.” Mike is verypopular with women and has had a constantstring of failed relationships due to what hecalls “their inability to keep things exciting.”As Mike puts it “hey, I am too smart forthis stuff. These people around me, they don’tdeserve the good life cause they’re a bunch ofdummies. But me, well I know how to runthings and get over on people. And I am notabout to let these dummies get in my way.I gotit all figured out . . . see?”
