Case example:
William is a 51-year-old married man who has recently stopped working as a result of difficulties related to his physical health. He had been employed in a low-skill job that was physically demanding. Although he frequently experienced physical pain, he had not sought medical attention. Since William ceased working, his level of activity has declined, and he feels somewhat isolated. He smokes cigarettes more often than he had previously. William’s wife, Farah, has noticed that he is eating less than usual. William spends his days watching television or reading, which are activities he enjoys. He also continues to recognise his religious beliefs.William’s connection with his family is such that he prioritises the family unit over his own needs. William has weekly contact with his two daughters, who are both married. These occasions are happy, and William makes an effort to appear as though life is continuing as normal. William also maintains regular contact with his uncle in India through telephone conversations. However, William has not disclosed to his uncle that he has ceased working. Both of William’s parents are deceased. William has recognised that since he stopped working, he has thought more about his time residing in India, where he was born. He is reflective about his
decision to migrate to Australia 13 years ago. In particular, he finds himself focused on the fact that he was educated and employed in skilled work in India. He feels some bitterness about being underemployed in Australia, in a job that caused him physical pain.William’s wife arranges for him to speak with a psychologist, because she has some concerns about how he is coping. Farah is particularly concerned that her husband appears to have withdrawn from her and their friends. She views William’s current behaviour as unusual, recalling the only other times he appeared to struggle were when each of his parents died. Although William expresses some reluctance and is concerned about stigma associated with seeing a psychologist, he agrees to attend an initial appointment.
