CASE EXAMPLE-CASE OF LEON Paranoid Personality Disorder(PPD)[301.0(F60.0)]
Leon has gotten up late this morning and suspects that someone who was meaning him harm interfered
with his alarm clock so that he would be late for work (CriterionA1). He thinks it is Morgan at work, who
he believes wants to make him look bad before his boss so that he will be fired (A6). When he arrives an
hour late at work, he is greeted by the receptionist, Mary, who says, “Good morning, Leon” (A4). She
was trying to be friendly, but Leon thinks she is trying to get him in trouble with the boss by making a
scene, so the boss will know he is late. Morgan, who believes she is a good friend of Leon, greets him.
He ignores Morgan and goes to his work station. He is thinking of how disloyal Morgan has been (A2).
Leon notices his boss, Jacob, and Morgan were whispering about something. He believes they are
discussing his tardiness this morning and plotting to write him up (A1andA2). He cannot contain himself
any longer and confronts his boss about his conversation with Morgan. The boss tells him they were
planning a surprise for a coworker who was celebrating her 50th birthday. Leon does not believe his
boss. This incident adds to his grudge against Morgan, whom he cannot forgive for meddling with his
alarm clock(A5). Interviewing this case, Leon meets five of the diagnostic criteria (A1, A2, A4, A5, and A6)
for a diagnosis of PPD. People with PPD commonly blame others for their own failures. Cultural
considerations in diagnosing this disorder may have to do with immigrant groups who do not
understand the dominant culture, may experience language barriers, or may not understand rules and
regulations of the new country. Several ethnic groups may also display behaviors that might be
incorrectly misinterpreted as paranoia (APA,2013). Persons with PPD can be very difficult to treat in
psychotherapy because of the chronic suspiciousness and perception of attacks on their
character(Dobbert,2007).
