Professionals focus on problem solving to find a solution, and positive ways to address them. Clients can have problems that portray to their home life, environment, background and many other factors. Problems such as addiction, disability, and grief are problems clients face with no easy resolution, and can often be a long road to recovery. In many situations the individual lacks resources or skills to resolve their problems. Other problems that clients are challenged with are, school attendance, food, and poverty. The professional must also gain utmost trust to service the need of the client problems.

When conducting an IAG interview it is vital as an advisor that I am able to clarify the client’s requirements and circumstances in order to agree with them the best course of action to help them achieve their goals or to be able to signpost them to other external organisations and charities. Most clients I give advice and guidance to are jobseekers aged between 18 and 60 or those who are at risk of redundancy. All of my clients have a variety of different situations and aspirations and need to be treated as individuals. The room in which IAG is conducted in is private, spacious and clutter free in order to allow the client to feel secure and allow them to feel relaxed

This paper will focus on the case conceptualization and treatment planning for the client. Through offering the client's case history this will allow the reader a better understanding of how certain theories would be more effective. This writer will delve into detail regarding the client's presenting concerns and explain the hypothesis regarding such problems. By providing this hypothesis, this writer will explore and apply Object Relations Theory as it relates to the client’s issues. After developing this case conceptualization, goals and interventions will be created for the client. This writer will delve into the psychodynamic approaches that

The article that was reviewed for this discussion was Court-Ordered versus Voluntary Clients: Problem Differences and Readiness for Change, written by Thomas O Hare. This article explored the defenses in treatment for different sources of referral, such as those who are voluntary and court ordered clients. The article discusses that this study on the relationship status between referral sources and the process and progress in treatment was conducted due to lack of information existing on this topic. To address this question of the relationship of referral source and progress, O Hare investigated areas of topics such as the denial of any problems that need to be addressed, recognizing a problem exist and considering making the necessary changes, the begging process of taking necessary steps and mandating the steps of treatment towards managing the problem at hand. These categories are expected to help providers measure where their client is starting. This feature is important as we discussed earlier in the semester, it helps the provider, help the client in a

Welcome to CHCDEV001 Confirm Client Developmental Status! This unit of study is one of the 16 units that make up the Diploma of Community Services (Case Management).

I believe that one of the most challenging types of clients would be the resistant client. Being that the resistant client may come more or less willingly but fail to carry through or participate actively in the helping process, it creates many barriers for the human services professional to assist them. (Woodside, 2015) A couple barriers that a resistant client would possibly have is being in denial that they need the help and not follow through to receive it or they will start placing the blame on others as to why they are not open to seeking assistance.

In the past chapters, the focus has been on understanding clients and helping them clarify their concerns, however there is more to helping than just that. Egan and Schroeder (2009) focused mainly on challenging in chapters seven and eight in The Skilled Helper (2009). These two chapters focused mainly on challenging and how it benefits the session, as well as the shadow side of challenging. Egan and Schroeder (2009) stated that “good helpers also help their clients test reality” (p. 169). Testing reality is the definition of challenging, and is important in the helping process.

Using the case study provided at the end of the module identify and explain the client’s issues and devise a course of treatment for him, taking into account any ethical issues.

Introduction When in the professional helping role, it is important that you have a wide range of knowledge to be effective and accountable for your decisions. I will be looking at Ted’s case study. Throughout this essay, a paradigm of Howe’s taxonomy of social theory will be looked at in accordance with Ted’s situation. I will use my knowledge to develop a helping plan for Ted, using a professional helping model and I will focus on my use of self when working with Ted. Making Sense of

In order to obtain information about the client, a clinical assessment was completed that included the administration of several necessary psychological tests. Of the test administered, the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV), Wide Range Achievement Test 4 (WRAT4), Adaptive Behavior Assessment System, Second Edition (ABAS-II), and the Adult Substance Abuse Subtle Screen Inventory- 4 (SASSI-4) were included.

Client is a 55-year-old woman who came in seeking services for counseling and possible community resources referrals. Client has no significant biological history that could explain her feelings of sadness and depression in the past few months. However, client lost her mother in April of this year and has had a hard time coping with this loss. After the death of her mother, her responsibilities of caring for her father increased as well. The client describes symptoms of situational depression, which is referred to as adjustment disorder. The differential diagnosis of this client is Adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood. The emotional and behavioral symptoms began after client’s mother passed away. The symptoms were initially worse right after the death and have only improved slightly. This client was not ready to seek services until recently, when she realized that she is not feeling that much better despite the passing of time. The client is reporting a depressed mood, worry, difficulty with sleep patterns, and a lack of interest in things that once brought her joy. There is significant impairment in the functioning of client’s emotional and physical health at this time. The depression and anxiety related disturbances do not meet criteria for another mental health disorder at this present time. However, it would be vital to monitor this client for major depressive disorder if symptoms do not improve. Client is dealing with one of the most significant

My initial actions for Casey would be to ensure she is safe. I would then gather some demographic information from her. By doing so would allow me to gain insight into her background. Her background information will help me take into consideration of her gender and cultural. Casey would be given an assessment during this first initial contact. The assessment will provide insight on any past abuse. As a counselor, I would promote safe talk to Casey. Whiling promoting safe talk, I would should empathy in assisting her. Furthermore, I would try build a therapeutic relationship with Casey. I would probably disclose something about me to gain the trust need to build rapport with the client. By doing so, the client will be able to see that abuse

The first necessary response would involve finding a way to help the client adequately deal with the levels of stress that he's experiencing. Once the client finds healthy ways of relieving stress, he'll be in a much stronger place to deal with a host of other stressors. For example, the sports teams that this teenager participates on seem to be causing him more stress than it's relieving. This is a sign of how intense his circumstances are right now. Exercise and team sports generally help individuals, particularly teenage boys, and blow off steam and de-stress. However, this appears to be having the opposite impact on him. Engaging in activities like art therapy, or hitting a punching bag or going for hikes alone are all possible options for helping this young man relieve stress.
