hours per session. This therapy will target specific issues already identified by his statements
and with the Rorschach assessment. Therapy targetted at specific issues eases the treatment
plan and helps in faster control of symptoms, anxiety and tension in Mr Sediki’s case. The
duration and efficacy of the treatment depend on the adversity of the physical and emotional
symptoms and the daily functioning of the individual. While mental therapy is sufficient for
most individuals, psychological therapy in combination with appropriate medication is more
effective in treating social anxiety in Mr Sediki. Medication aids in controlling the symptoms
rapidly. The psychotherapy sessions for Mr Sediki will primarily involve training in reducing
anger and developing social skills (Busch, & Sandberg, 2016). Social skills training will help
Mr Sediki to learn methods to keep his anxiety under control in social situations and develop
suitable behavioural characteristics acceptable in society. The psychologist might also
address issues related to his childhood experiences which might have led to the episode in the
bus and attempt in suggesting ways to eliminate them.

by the continuous crying of the baby disrupted Mr Sediki’s attention and aggravated his
anger. These signals came in the form of sweat at first which heightened to finally make the
mother and the child leave the bus. Another very essential element of this theory is the role of
the schema. Schema is similar to an internal transcript of behavioural actions present
unconsciously within the mind (Fiske, 2014). In the case of Mr Sediki, his hand raised as an
immediate response to stimuli which can be interpreted as an unrecognized internal schema
