Case Study David:
David is a thirteen-year-old student in the seventh grade. David has no history of mental health treatment or medication. At home, David's parents recently separated and he predominately stays with his biological mother and younger biological sister until his biological father solidifies a permanent living arrangement. David feels recently his moods can shift from happy to angry. He sometimes can identify the trigger and sometimes not. He finds himself getting irritated with his younger sister and with his friends at school. David feels that he is having trouble connecting with friends. John compares himself to his peers who are more involved with the other girls in his class. He feels pressure to act differently so that the girls in his class will like him. David expresses, "When we all were hanging out (girls and boys), Stacey only talked to Matthew about the upcoming science project. She must like him more than she likes me. I bet she does not even like me at all. Why would she?" At school, David has not been completing assignments, not participating in class, and frequently becomes irritated with his teacher when asked about assignments or is called on for an answer. David's teachers are concerned after seeing the shift from engaged and happy to irritable and uninterested.

1. What is the difference between anger and aggression (Clark, 2020, 97-98)?
2. How are mindfulness and CBT similar/different (Clark, 2020, 102)?
3. Why is David angry (dynamite)? What are the 'matches' that are triggering his anger?
4. When David is upset, what are his thoughts and behaviors (fuse)?
5. Identify 3 Mindfulness/CBT coping strategies from the journal article by Clark (2020). Explain how they would help David's irritability.
