I would do a case study on someone who has Bulimia Nervosa.
I would first research their child-
hood. Then I would research their relationships with boyfriends, husbands, and other people who could hurt their self-esteem.
I would also look at who has control over the patient's life because this could be a way that they are taking control over one part of their own life.
I would interview the individual along with other people who are involved with the patient's life.
I would also like to observe the patient in their natural environment.

I would do a case study on someone who is blind. I would first see if they were born blind or if they became blind over time. Then I would look and see if they have someone help them get around or if they do stuff by themselves. I would also see if they can work well fast in new environments or if it takes them a while.

I would do a case study on someone who was suicidal. I think it would be interesting to learn what made them be that way. I would research all their relationships with people. Like family, friends and even ask random people at their school about them and what they thought of them. I would also interview that person and ask them about their backgroud. Then I would see how they reacted to different situations.

Like Brantley's case study, I would conduct a lot of the same experiments/researches.

i think i would do a case study on panic disorder. i would research if anything had happened in the past to cause the subjects to have this disorder or if it is genetic. i would then study the different things that cause the different subjects to panic.

I think i would agree with Brantley, and so a case study on someone with anorexia or buliemia. I would study their past family relationships and intamate ones. I would like to study this person in both their natural enviroment and a therapist setting.

I would do a case study on someone with ADHD, I would want to see if them having ADHD really affects them a lot more then other people. I have ADHD myself, but from personal experience I can control my hyperness and focus if I actually try. So I would like to study another person to see if maybe ADHD is a choice, or and excuse. Sometimes people say they have something for an excuse instead of just admitting they are not good at it. This could be the case, or maybe not... wouldn't mind finding out though.

I would do a case study on someone who has been physically abused and is also abusive. I would research the person's background, childhood, relationships with parents, siblings and outsiders ect. I would like to find out what causes that person to behave in an abusive manner when that person knows the feeling of being abused. I would research where they live, their environment, and the people they hang out with.

i would want to do a case study on someone who has lost a extremiate during there teenage years because i am curious how they would cope. that is one of the worst physical things, beside blindness, i could think would happen to someone an personally would be devistated. i would want to know their relationships would change with their family and their friends.

if i had to do a case study on someone, i would do it on someone with autism. i worked at the ymca a few summers ago and there was a little boy who was autistic and i think it would be neat to learn when he first saw symptoms, if his mother took a certain medicine or something. i would also look up his family history and do research on autism and its history too.

i would do my case study on someone like B. Spears. her life is crazy and the way she acts make me think that something from her pass made her that way. i would do a case study on weather the way she treats her children comes from how she was treated when she was younger or is she doing all the things she doing to keep the attention on her from her baby sister who's pregnant. this is what i would do a case syudy on. have a nice weekend youguys:-)

hmm... i guess i would do a case study on a crack addict. i think it would be interesting to see why they turned to hard drugs and what impact it has made on that particular person's life.

If I had to do a case study I would study someone with multaple personalities. First I would Research their past to see if there were any events that could have caused these personalities to develop. Secomdly I would study each personality to see what triggers each one

after watching that video in class (wild chile) i think i would have to say that i would do a case study on a feral child. i think its awful that a child is treated like that and i would want to help the child find a way to lead a normal life. for my research i guess i would try to find different and unique and fun ways to get them to perform normal activities.

If I could do a case study on anyone it would be on Richard Ramirez. He is extremely interesting. He is a serial killer held in San Quentin, California on death row.

If I could do a case study on anyone, I would choose Kim Peek. Kim Peek is an autistic American man. Peek has absolutely incredible memorization. He has the ability to recall entire chapters from novels. Peek once recalled every Muhammad Ali fight, in order, naming his opponent, win or loss, by k.o. or otherwise, and the date, all from his memory. I would ask him if he always had this ability and how he found out that he had it. I am also curious about his childhood, if he had any close friends, if he went to public school etcetera, etcetera.
