exaggeration. The patient's outward
appearance is well put together, as he
presents as a business professional, Despite
his seemingly composed demeanor, Scott
displays exaggerated emotions and
reactions. In addition to this, romantic
relationships have proven turbulent as he
goes from one relationship to the next with
the other person usually being the one to
end it. He has few close friends or relatives,
and tends to perceive new friendships as
closer than they actually are. Scott believes
his subordinates to be his family, and often
times gets involved in their personal lives
without their consent. His parents divorced
when he was young (age unknown), and he
displays clear resentment towards his
stepfather and sister, whom he once didn't
talk to for fifteen years. Scott has a very close
relationship with his mother now, though this
was not case when he was a child. Though
Scott seems to be lacking in managerial style,
responsibility, and delegation, he
demonstrates above average sales abilities
due to his personable qualities. Scott does
not have a history of drug or alcohol abuse,
though he will drink in social situations and
when pressured to do so by coworkers.
