III. CASE BACKGROUND

Ms. Dhevine was born via normal delivery to Nidy, 46 years old, and Arnel, 45. Her Isabela-
born mother, who took up Bachelor of Science in Criminology at the University of Cagayan
Valley, is currently a businesswoman. Her father, who was also raised in the same town, also
manages a business. Dhevine has a brother, aged 7, making her the eldest of the two. Shadden, the
youngest, is currently in pre-school. Their family lives in a private subdivision in Bagumbong,
Caloocan.

Dhevine was raised by her Grandmother, from her mother's side, most of her childhood in
Isabela. Both of her parents left for Manila to look for better job opportunities when she was only
3 years old. According to Dhevine, she went to visit her parents every summer until she finally
moved back with them at 9 years old. Dhevine describes her relationship with her mother during
the first few years as “rough” and “foreign” because she was used to having her Grandmother
around instead. As she grew older, however, she found “friendship” in their relationship because,
despite her mother’s harsh exterior, she was nothing but supportive of Dhevine’s dreams. She
described her mother as her “backbone” and strength for all the things she made possible for her
and her brother. Dhevine said she is not really in touch with her father and they are just
“coexisting” at their house. They never really got along well because according to Dhevine, her
father can have a bad temper and become pretty controlling even with only the slightest
inconvenience. Dhevine considers herself very close to her younger brother despite their 13 years
age gap. The whole family practices Catholicism but Dhevine claims that they are a very religious
household.

Dhevine described her childhood as “fun” even if she claimed it had a few setbacks. Growing
up a little chubby, she got picked on by kids her age which she considered as very detrimental to
her just developing “self-image.” Her growth spurt during elementary school made her taller than
the rest of the kids which also contributed to the bullying. This continued until the first year of
high school until 9th grade when she finally found her confidence. Despite this, Dhevine said she
was surrounded by amazing friends which inspired her to be a consistent honor student throughout
elementary to high school. Dhevine graduated with High honors. Upon graduation, she went to
Far Eastern University where she is currently taking Bachelor of Science in Psychology as a Junior
student. Dhevine said that her grades were above good and she got along with her peers well.

Ever since college has transitioned from a face-to-face set-up, Dhevine reported that she has
been getting sick more often. As a child, it has been made clear by Doctors that she has a weak
immune system and it just cannot keep up with the fast-paced environment of college. With her
last check-up only being just last week (March 29, 2023), she has been advised to drink vitamins,
painkillers, and antibiotics. With her father’s long history of Diabetes and High blood, her mother
is usually very strict on their diet because she is afraid that her children might develop it, too.

According to Dhevine, her family has no history of mental health issues or not that she knows
of. She also said that despite her physical health declining when the university switched to F2F, it
was considerably better for her mental health. The joy and excitement that comes with fully living
out her college potential balances out the stress and sleepless nights from her academic endeavors.
She thinks that she has finally reached a place in her life where she can say she is content and at
peace.

she was also the eldest in their family that’s why she was responsible in most of the time. Many

impulsive behavior, and anxiousness. However, negative thought patterns and poor anger control
are frequent and need to be given further consideration and observation. Both personality tests
reflect anxiety levels and depression. She mentioned during the interview that almost all the things
that she experiences recently was her first time since she only focuses on her studies when she was
in high school. Although her academic accomplishments give her anxiety and sleepless nights,
they are offset by the joy and satisfaction of reaching her full college potential.

The results of Ms. Dhevine's projective tests and geometric representations (House-Person-
Tree Personality Test, Draw-a-Person Test, Sach's Sentence Completion Test, and Bender Visual
Motor Gestalt Test) were consistent with her feeling of inadequacy, anxiety, self-centeredness, and
socially withdrawn. The way she treats her family demonstrates that she solely feels good about
her mother. Although she wishes they were closer, she feels detached from her father. She shows
reciprocal respect and a good relationship with her acquaintances, friends, and other people. It also
reveals that she has regrets from the past but believes she has grown from them. Furthermore, Ms.
Dhevine is confident in her capacity to overcome challenges and fulfilling her goals in life.
In accordance with this, all of her test results from the projective test show that she
experiences anxiety, though it is under control. It revealed that she has some personality
disturbances and withdrawal tendencies, specifically unresolved conflicts with her family or her
past. These projective responses and observations were consistent with Ms. Dhevine’s reports from
her interview. She mentioned that when she was in high school, she only focuses on her studies
that she had never experience going out with her friends since she go straight to their home after
class. This might be the reason that she was a consistent honor student throughout elementary to
high school and graduated with high honors. Ms. Dhevine only experience going out with her
friends when she entered college. Added to this, she mentioned that she and her father never really
got along well.
