Max is a 54-year-old man who recently had a blood test that revealed elevated blood markers for impaired liver function when investigating the source of his gingivitis. During the initial interview, Max maintained good eye contact, but his affect was of reduced range and reactivity. There was no evidence of psychotic phenomena. Max reported a history of two suicide attempts. He reported lethargy and loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities since the breakup of his relationship. He said that he had difficulty getting out of bed, and his activities prior to his arrest consisted of eating, sleeping, and working. He finds life without alcohol colorless and his work boring. He alluded to having difficulty in distracting himself from dark thoughts but did not elaborate on the content of these thoughts. Max is living alone and had been drinking daily until his arrest. He was arrested for domestic violence. He attributes the breakdown in his relationship to his significant other changing when she became a grandmother and she stopped drinking. He found her insistence that he not only abstain from alcohol but also apologize to her children for his behavior when drinking quite intolerable. He blames Alcoholics Anonymous for her change in behavior.
