Traci's Reassessment

To perform a proper assessment on an individual, a clinician looks at a variety of aspects of an individual’s life such as biological, psychological, social, and spiritual. It is important to understand how these aspects impact the individual and how these aspects impact the way an individual interacts with others and their environment (Hepworth, Rooney, Rooney, Strom-Gottfried, 2013). The mental health intake form can support a clinician with providing foundation information for a client. This intake form touches on multiple aspects of an individual’s life including biological, psychological, social, and

Near the end of the assessment, there are three lines to write in three goals. When doing this assessment at the beginning, the goals that are written may seem like miracles that might not happen. The therapist can get that assessment out after a while, and see where the client is at with the goals. If the therapy was effective, both the client, their family, and the therapist should see improvement, or maybe even completion of at least one of the goals, and so on. I also appreciated that this assessment has a section about the strengths of the client, and their family. I think that including a positive light on this type of paperwork is important for both the family and the therapist. I believe that if a person always looks, and is presented with negativity, it is harder to grow and heal. This is because negative thoughts about a person, or their situation can throw the client into deeper depression, anxiety, or anything else they are struggling with. They may think “what is the point of getting better”? On the other hand, I do wish that this section was bigger, and allowed more room to write the

When came the last two sessions, the client has been improved and upgraded to level three. It shows that he could understand and make use of the regularity rule and the consistency rule in certain extent. As observed, he got confused when had a grade up. He could not make a good connection between the pronunciations of target words by applying the rules he learnt as the previous sessions. The pronunciations of paired-up target words in the previous stages share the same pronunciation and a similar form. That makes the client familiar the mode of learning target words and therefore when he applied this skill in the previous stages, he had a better performance than these two sessions. However, things became more difficult when he came to level

plan your session around wrapping up topics that where discussed and talk about all the ways in which the client will maintain what they had learned. Second praise the client for all of the hard work that they have done all of the positive changes they had made. Show them the difference on Becks Depression Inventory for youth (BDI-Y) or Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) showing hard facts can help, and praise emphasis all of the change. Third “checking in with the client regularly about questions or concerns about ending treatment helps maintain the therapeutic relationship and offset negative emotions about treatment that could result in negative outcomes, such as feeling abandoned. If the patient seems particularly concerned about ending

In order to provide the readers necessary understanding of the contents of the study, the important aims were define operationally

I am reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, and I am on page 188. This book is about Scout, Dill, and Jem finding a mad dog named Tim Johnson. Atticus shoots it and they learn that he was the best shot in Maycomb county when he was younger. Jem gets mad at Mrs. Dubose and wrecks her camellias because she says bad things about Atticus. He has to read to her everyday for two hours as a punishment. Dill does not come back to Maycomb in the summer, and Atticus takes on Tom Robinson’s case. Aunt Alexandra comes to stay with the Finches. In this journal I will be evaluating.

The research study may contribute additional knowledge and information on the importance of the approach of the therapists to the patients’ health care, conditions and recovery based on selected participants. Future researchers may learn and improve on this study.

Each stage gives ample time for the therapist and client to create a nurturing and therapeutic environment. The goals and activities of each stage vary with each client. In the preparation stage, the client is made to get comfortable with the space around him as well as his body. He/she is asked to move with his/her eyes closed. This stage is critical for forming a therapeutic and trusting alliance between the therapist and the client. In the second stage, incubation, the therapist verbally asks the client to go into their sub-conscious by asking them to form mental images. It helps the client in forming an internal environment which is relaxing and which also helps the client move in a symbolic manner. The illumination stage brings the client more close to his/her own self. The client is made to observe his/her subconscious motivations and resolve them. Self-reflection is a significant aspect of this stage. The last stage of evaluation helps the client to verbalize the insights and importance of the therapy session. It is also a preparation to end the therapy

The CBT therapist conducts an extensive history-taking assessment, a diagnostic interview, evaluation of patients’ functioning and social relationships before starting the treatment. The first session, the CBT therapist will establish a strong therapeutic alliance, give psychoeducation of diagnosis, describe the cognitive model, evoke expectations for treatment, socialize patients to treatment and instill hope which is most important. Both patient and therapist produce the goal setting at this first session and work together toward these goals at every session (Beck, 2011).

The client and the therapist will keep daily, and weekly reports in order to track the process of the client in all the objectives in the blueprint. One form of keeping track is having the client write daily in a journal. The journal consists of feelings, encounters, and solutions the client experiences during situations she is required to cope with by herself. By writing down these occurrences, the therapist is better equipped with information to dissect during the session. A journal is an excellent form of gathering reliable data. Sometimes during individual intervention, the adolescent feels more comfortable than during family blended sessions, therefore, keeping a "private" journal will help the client express details she may have trouble with verbally, or in front of others. Mishia will engage in extracurricular activities in school, as well as be required to commit to these activities involving social interactions for a minimum of twice per week. The

Four years ago, Jenna had left Shelter Point, with her two kids. It 's a small island in West Hampton, New York, with about 2,500 residents. She 'd been divorced a month, and wondered what to do next. What would be the best path for them to follow? She prayed to God, that He show her the journey to take.The one thing, she is sure of, her kids happiness always come first.

At this point the therapist is to reflect on what steps to take in order for the treatment plan to be effective. According to Jacobson et al. (1996) change and acceptance of difference are the tools that are desired to cause an improvement in the couple’s relationship. The therapist is to guide the couple in a direction that they can magnify their strength and to help them to accept their differences. The three areas of focus that the therapist seek to discover are accommodation, compromise, and collaboration in order to bring change and acceptance (Jacobson & Christensen, 1996). If these areas are present them it is a good sign that therapy will be successful or effective. The culture of therapy is being able to be willing the make changes and accept those that cannot be changed in order to live a life that is conducive to stability within relationships and individuals. Unfortunately, for Mike and Sheila there is no accommodation, compromise, or collaboration between them which means therapy would be more difficult to

The approach is directed towards the attainment of objectives identified during therapy, that can lead to positive change for the client. Solution Focused Brief Therapy ( SFBT ) is a therapeutic method that empowers clients to construct positive change in their lives in a short-term period. SFBT holds two essential assumptions when it comes to creating change: 1) to facilitate the process where the client defines the outcome of therapy if it is to be effective, in other words, what will the preferred outcome be and 2) the therapist creates awareness about the strengths and resources and how it can be applied to create change ( Ratner, George & Iveson,2012

The treatment will help address the patient so that they will understand what are the interpersonal problems they are facing in hopes that they will be able to reconstruct and maintain a positive attitude toward the problems they face. When the therapy is coming to an end, the therapist will remind the patient about this fact and this will help the patient to be more confident and independent by seeing how much have they accomplished.

The approach was chosen with regards to earlier findings in different psychotherapy interventions, and the client’s needs in this case study. The interventions and planning were adjusted and tailor made so as to match the needs of the client and the therapeutic progress.
