IntroductionThis assignment will discuss the condition identified in the case study of a 17-year-old girl called Jess. Jess has bulimia. Jess was also surfing due to anorexia and was admitted to hospital after her weight dropped to 6.5 stone. Jess isn't sure at what age she became bulimic. Karen, Jess' mother, who is also bulimic, is concerned about Jess' physical health and has had her seen by a gastroenterologist. Her consultant has noticed that Jess presents with downy hair on her arms and believes this is a sign of anorexia. To fully understand Jess' case, you need to understand the condition she suffers from and explore its symptoms, causes, effects and treatments. In this assignment, an accurate assessment of Jess' needs will be carried out taking into account her social, emotional, physical and psychological well-being. During this assignment two of Jess's needs that are met and unmet will be identified and explored, and from this appropriate strategies to meet these needs will be identified. The care and management of Jess' condition by specialists will also be explored in this assignment, demonstrating a wide range of specialist skills and tools. BulimiaBulimia is a serious eating disorder; it is a physical and emotional illness most common in all people but particularly in young women. Bulimia is defined as eating a large amount of food, also known as binge eating, followed by feelings of guilt, depression, and self-condemnation. So people induce vomiting and purging to prevent weight gain by using laxatives, dieting, or fasting. (Farlex) The signs and symptoms of bulimia are binge eating and purging. Binge eating involves repeatedly eating huge amounts of food without… half a sheet of paper… and Karen are quite critical of each other about their appearance. Jess wants to have a closer relationship with her mother in the future. According to Maslow's theory, you have to satisfy lower needs to progress to the higher level, this is true in Jess' case. Jess's social needs are not being met and she is unable to progress towards esteem needs. Esteem needs include achievement, independence, status, respect, and recognition. Jess doesn't seem to have any motivation in life other than being thin. She has an occupation that encourages women to be as thin as possible. Jess may believe that the only way to gain status, respect and recognition in her life is through a successful modeling career. Carl Rogers (1902-1987) was one of the humanistic psychologists. He agreed with most of what Maslow believed, but also added that a person must “grow”.”
