Case Study – Option 2: Thomas
Thomas is a 52 year old African American male. Thomas is a retired Army Sergeant and
currently works part time as a contractor with the United States Military. He teaches new
recruits. Thomas smokes 1-2 packs of cigarettes a day. Since Thomas retired from the military,
he has put on about 30 pounds. Thomas has stopped exercising since he left the military. Thomas is
married and has 2 grown children. He reports that his relationship with his wife is tenuous at
best.
Thomas has developed a drinking problem since he left the military. He indulges in binge drinking.
This binge drinking does affect his work but it is a part time job and Thomas is often heard asserting “I
don’t need this job anyway.” Thomas has mood swings and his mood swings have grown more severe,
and he alienated the people around him. His problem was accentuated by his abuse of alcohol and
other drugs. His boss has told him that he needs to settle down or he will lose his job. Thomas’ wife
indicates that his moods have become difficult to deal with. He is happy and exhilarating one minute
and crashes into devastating depression, during which he would withdraw from all social contact,
refuse to eat, and lie in bed crying for days at a time.
While in the military, Thomas experienced 4 deployments to active war zones, but insists that the
deployments did not affect him. “It is part of the job” is his token response to his any discussion of war
time activities. Thomas has never sought counseling, nor has he considered it. Recently, his children
and his wife have told him that he needs help. However, Thomas refuses help. In the last week,
Thomas was admitted to the hospital with complaints of chest pains and panic.
