Abstract
“Ms. A” is a 27-year-old recent immigrant from China who was hospitalized twice in her early twenties because of psychotic symptoms. She was treated and maintained on antipsychotic medication at low dosages. Ms. A subsequently had a short-lived relationship with a man who disappeared from her life when he learned that she was pregnant. She decided to carry the pregnancy to term and to keep the child, not an easy decision because she had virtually no family support and few friends. However, she was intelligent and resourceful, lived in a relatively comfortable apartment in Toronto, and was able to support herself and her child on a disability pension. She had a good relationship with her psychiatrist and her social worker. Ms. A’s mother and several siblings lived in the same city, but Ms. A did not perceive them as supportive.
