By using the Generalist Intervention Model, as a Social Worker, I would develop a strategy for improving Peter’s behaviour. This model has said to have six (6) steps in order to be successful. I would start by engaging the client by helping them decide whether they want help, in which I would then set up an appointment. I would assess the client during an interview to determine a problem and the solution. If after I have assessed him and discover that I am unable to handle his case I would refer him to a professional who would be able to his situation better.
From the ideas and techniques that Mrs. Perez used, I realized how these interviews could be helpful if utilized and applied in the proper way. To me, this assignment was the best and it helped me further my development and growth as a future mental health counselor. The most interesting and educative aspect of this interview was how Mrs. Perez applied most of the counseling techniques, such motivational stage that we have been taught in class. Aspects such as paraphrasing the words of your clients, tone, and facial expressions are critical in a counseling session and students always overlook these techniques. The way Mrs. Perez employed according to her explanation was excellent and her ideas justified the importance of such points in any counseling session.
I would use this theory to focus on positives in her life currently, from the fact that she has a job and a high school diploma, which is a good thing, but also that opportunity is out there for her to better herself and her situation. It’s key for me to build JB’s self-awareness in this aspect by having her focus on her successes instead of her shortcomings. Strengths based theory teaches learned optimism, JB must learn to focus on the things that can and are going right in her life presently. I would also utilize Solution focused therapy with JB. Its clear from our talk that JB knows where she wants to be in life, and what she needs to do to get there, but now it’s a case of action.
Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) is based on the theory that a child’s response to a particular event depends on how that event is perceived by the child (Flannery-Schroeder & Lamb, 2009). As a consequence, the child reacts not to the event, itself, but to their perception of that event. In addition, the child’s response to an event can subsequently affect their behaviours and attitudes. In the context of conduct disorders, CBT attempts to change a child’s antisocial behaviour by altering the way that they perceive or interpret an event (i.e. perceptual distortions and hostile attributional biases; McCart, Priester, Davies, & Azen, 2006). Common techniques involved in CBT are problem-solving strategies, self-instruction, modeling, role-play,
