Charlie Sheen was born with the name Carlos Irwin Estevez on September 3, 1965(A&E Television, 2011). He was born to parents Ramon Estevez, otherwise known as Martin Sheen, and Janet Estevez. Charlie’s immediate family included two brothers and one sister. All of the children were encouraged to pursue acting as a career (A&E Television 2011). Charlie appeared in his first film at the age of nine. In his teenage years, Charlie produced several low- budget films with his friends Rob Lowe and Sean Penn. Charlie was an unfocused student who preferred pursuing his love of baseball playing over his academic studies. He was expelled from school two weeks shy of his graduation after he was arrested for credit card fraud and possession of marijuana. Charlie subsequently lost the scholarship he had been awarded from the University of Kansas. At the age of 19 Charlie fathered a child with his 17 year old girlfriend. Charlie has reportedly remained an active part of his daughter’s life since her birth in 1984 (A&E Television, 2011). In the years following high school Charlie starred in several made for television movies. He got his big break in the movie Platoon in 1986. Charlie went on to star in the movies Wall Street, Eight Men Out, The Rookie, Hot Shots, and Hot Shots! Part Deux. Charlie checked himself into a rehabilitation center for alcohol addiction after citing an exhaustive filming schedule as the reason for seeking help.

When this has been accomplished Charlie may be more receptive to therapy. However, the key to successful treatment must be Charlie’s desire to move his life in a healthy direction. Those who are not interested in helping Charlie to recover must remove them from his life and Charlie must see how detrimental those relationships have become. As it stands Charlie has lost his job, his children, his relationships with spouses, his mental and physical health, and the respect of his peers, family, and friends. What more does he stands to lose? Maybe his life if he does not find the path to humility and recovery. The odds will always be on the side of failure if Charlie is not willing to take the first steps and follow through when his recovery becomes even more difficult.

In other words, the patient was sick because of his or her time in the institution. I find this interesting because without a more human telling of the story by Grob, it is hard to gauge if the psychosis of patients deteriorated in general with the length of stay in the institution and if because of this, did that impact the policies or methods of practice? I believe it would be similar to what they are finding now with the orphans of Romania in the 1980’s who were raised in institutions with only basic and minimal human contact and now are mostly homeless and unable to function in society or inmates in prison who have spent years behind bars and then are let go into the general population. History has proven that people struggle with trying to acclimate back into the general population. As a result of this by the 1980’s one-third of the homeless population in the United States were said to be seriously mentally ill. (PBS, "Timeline: Treatments for Mental
