RE: Sanjeev
Dear Dr. Robin Thomas,
I am writing this report in order to bring to you notice the case of one of my clients named Mr.
Sanjeev , who is a 32 year old individual who has been living in Australia for the past five years.
He was referred to us by the General Practitioner of the same building as his migration lawyer in
the CBD. He has mainly referred to us in order to undergo a treatment of his mental health. He
was into a lot of suffering due to the back to back denial of his appeal to the Refugee Tribunal on
account of his sexual orientation. He recognizes his sexual orientation as gay. He was mainly
referred to us because of the huge emotional problems that he was undergoing because of his
sexual rim orientation and the constant threat and fear that was associated with the same. He is
initially a resident of India and has arrived at Sydney in order to carry on with us studies in
management. The other relaxing for escapes to this western land was his gay sexual orientations.
We made sure that we can include the entire well known and the eminent person within the
treatment board of the patient. There were renowned doctors like Bruce Rolla, DO, board-

We wanted to make sure that he is getting all the possible treatment to get well soon. All these
members who were involved in the team have been able to forward the conclusions and
recommendations on how to carry on with his treatment further.
Waiver of Confidentiality
The patient that is Sanjeev has cooperated with us throughout the course of the treatment and has
given his permission in order to share all the essential details about him. We have made sure that
all the critical decision is being taken by carrying on prior consultation with the patient. We have
taken care that the name of the intervention procedures is introduced without giving prior
knowledge to the concerned patient. However we think that referring him to team of experts is
really very essential for getting some further treatments. Thus I thought that it would be good to
refer him to you and your team of mental health social workers.
Summary of Treatment:
Mr. Sanjeev has taken many assessment and treatment procedures to deal with the pangs of
anger, emotional outbursts, and signs o suicidal attempts. He has been made to sessions of
psychotherapy sessions for a total of 14 hours. It was in during this psychological session that
we have been able to detect his emotional misbalanced nature. We mainly focused on the
biopsychosocial analysis of Mr. Sanjeev to find out the likely impacts of his cultural, spiritual
