Scenario: Jax is a 66-year-old Caucasian female whose wife has encouraged her to
seek treatment. She has never been in therapy before, and has no history
of depression or anxiety. However, her alcohol use has recently been
getting in the way of her marriage, and interfering with her newly-retired
life. She describes drinking increasing amounts over the last year, currently
consuming approximately a six-pack of beer per day. She notes that this
amount “doesn’t give me the same buzz as it used to.” She denies ever
experiencing “the shakes” or any other withdrawal symptoms if she skips a
day of drinking.

Jax comments that her wife is her biggest motivation to decrease her
alcohol use. She tells Jax that she gets argumentative and irritable when
she drinks, though she does not always remember these incidents. She
has also fallen while intoxicated twice, causing bruises both times and
hitting her head on one of the occasions.
