Summary:

Mrs. Russell seems overly friendly to the doctor: eager to comply and overly happy to help in any way she can with her husband's medication. Unfortunately, her husband has been receiving less than adequate care: not getting his medication on time. Mrs. Russell insists she has been under a lot of stress and is trying her best. She promises to do better for the husband whom she says she loves so much. As the questions become more focused she claims she has to use the restroom and takes a very long time to return. We get the feeling that many of Mrs. Russell's stories feel like oddly convenient excuses. This training title highlights the major symptoms of Passive Aggressive Personality Disorder. Note: This was a disorder in DSM-III but was moved to the category of being "under study" in DSM-IV. In DSM-V it would be listed under "Other Specified Personality Disorder." Symptoms of Passive Aggressive Personality Disorder may include: passively avoids fulfilling routine social and occupational responsibilities rather than openly expressing resentment; uses procrastination, inefficiency, and forgetfulness to avoid assignments, chores, or tasks; blames others; has unexpressed anger or hostility; resists other's suggestions; and performs tasks in ways that are useless. The avoidance is often hidden behind demonstrated enthusiasm to comply and be helpful. The key is that people with this disorder sabotage actions in order to demonstrate anger that they are unable to express in words.
