Ted is a 52-year-old Caucasian male with Schizoaffective Disorder. He had a severe decompensation four years ago where he attempted to stab a County Designated Mental Health Professional who was evaluating him for involuntary detention to a state hospital. He was just released from the Legal Offender Unit of the state hospital six months ago. Ted is in a supported housing placement since his release and is stable on his medications. He is seeing his outpatient psychiatrist monthly for medication management and has been attending a day treatment program for the past month. Ted's thinking is relatively clear. He reports no significant relationships outside of the contact and support he receives from his mother and brother. He also notes a low level of depression and a general lack of interest in daily activities.
