Find the аpprоpriаte diаgnоsis fоr Mr. Regale and write it out correctly, including any specifiers and severity. (Four points)write one treatment goal to ameliorate or resolve Mr. Regale's symptoms (one point)Mr. Regale is a 50-year-old professor of pathology who presents with great surprise because his wife has announced that she wants a divorce. He has always considered her very lucky to be married to him and was amazed when he recently learned that she did not share his high opinion of the marriage and of his performance as a husband. His wife has agreed to give him one more chance if he will go into therapy. He is coming "only to appease her" because he doesn't think there is anything wrong with him. Within the first 15 minutes of the first session, he regales the therapist with his accomplishments: how he was the youngest graduate from his medical school, the prizes he has won, the papers he has published, the big house he owns in the nicest neighborhood in town, the fact that he met John Kennedy once, and the wonderful trips he takes to out-of-the-way and exclusive resorts. He says that he has "given his wife so much and asks for so little," and he cannot understand how she could be dissatisfied. More detailed questioning by the therapist, however, makes it clear that, despite all his "accomplishments," Mr. Regale's wife takes care of all mundane details for him. She does all the household work and chores, handles all the finances and correspondence, and makes all the actual travel arrangements for the wonderful trips Mr. Regale wants to take. Mr. Regale insists that his house be beautifully furnished and impeccably maintained at all times, and he admits that his wife has always done an admirable job of this but speaks of this as if it was only his due. In his professional life, Mr. Regale reports that he can't keep secretaries and that younger colleagues with whom he has worked often leave his department. On one occasion, he overheard someone call him an "insufferable horse's ass." He attributes these problems to jealousy and the fact that these individuals are not talented or hardworking enough to live up to his expectations and keep up with his achievements. He angrily claims that he should have been named chairman of his department because his professional achievements are far superior to those of the person who was chosen. Mr. Regale insists that he was passed over only because of the jealousy of some of his colleagues in the administration of the medical school and because the current department head exploited certain "connections" to get the job. In picking a therapist, Mr. Regale has already rejected the first two whom he visited because they were not "qualified" or "expert" enough. He finally decided to meet with the chairman of the psychiatry department, but only after being assured that he was considered a well-known authority in the field. In a subsequent interview with the patient's wife and family, they describe how Mr. Regale refuses ever to wait in lines because he considers himself too busy and important to waste time. This has often caused his family much embarrassment. When they eat out, Mr. Regale always insists on having the best table and the most expensive wine on the wine list. He insists that everyone in his family wears only the "right" clothes with the "right" labels. Mr. Regale's wife is a very attractive woman who was considered a beauty when she was younger. She says that her husband has lately been pressuring her to have a face-lift, to color her hair, and generally to make herself more attractive. Mrs. R's resistance to these suggestions has led to frequent arguments and altercations, ultimately culminating in her request for a divorce. She complains that her husband does not seem to care about her as a person but only as a beautiful object that belongs to him and he can show off. Mr. Regale's two high school-age children say that they feel they can never please him. Despite doing well in school, being involved in a number of activities, and being well-liked by their classmates, they are constantly made to feel that this is not good enough to be at the very top of their classes and be the captain of the football team or the homecoming queen. They both express the thought that, even if they should achieve these goals, they would still not be enough to satisfy their father. When the therapist discusses his family's feelings with Mr. E., he reiterates that he feels that he "asks so little of others. Why can't they comply?"
