Feedback Informed Therapy Reflection Assignment

 Solution focused therapy is a model of therapy developed by Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg in the late 1970's (Dolan, n.d.). This model has become well known for its non-traditional approach to client problems as it does not explore clients issues in relation to their cause and affect but rather the goals and solutions to achieving a future free of any present issues. i will be discussing the evident concepts, principles and intervention techniques of this particular model. it will be explored in the context of a case scenario of a therapy session to observe how the model can be actively applied to therapy sessions and why this is the best model to meet the client's needs. The effectiveness of the model

Most contemporary psychological treatment approaches are predecessors of the ancient and medieval philosophies and theories.

The role of the social worker in this setting is to perform duties as an informed clinician based on evidence based practice to provide individualized case management to all clients.

Client’s also receive mental health screenings and individual and group counseling to gain new coping skills and address any triggers to prevent relapse utilizing interventions as CBT and Motivational Interviewing.

First, we will examine my initial clinical note on 8/15/16 with client, Rhonda Smith, session one. During this first session, I collected Rhonda’s demographic and intake information (Murphy & Dillon, 2015; Reamer, 2001). This included a signed consent for treatment, which we reviewed and all her questions were answered, as well as signed medical releases for previous therapy and agency records, i.e., DVIS, CPS, CASA, that will be requested (Murphy & Dillon, 2015; Reamer, 2001). Additionally, she was informed about HIPAA, patient privacy rights, billing practices, professional boundaries and expectations, and how to contact me during business hours, and after-hours crisis lines, and on-call assistance phone numbers for resources if it is outside of my business hours (Murphy & Dillon, 2015).

Currently people see me as an informal leader that has high personal standards. I am seen as honest, trustworthy and dependable. I am also seen as someone who does not always stand up against others to make them responsible for their own actions. People do not always feel that I give feedback in a way that enhances performance. In my future nursing career as an APN, it is important that I provide prompt honest feedback to my patients regardless if it is a difficult discussion.

What applied clinical problem would you most like to focus on in your PsyD studies and in the PsyD Clinical Psychology dissertation/doctoral project? Tell us something about your knowledge of the relevant theory and concepts, research, and the application of that scholarship to clinical practice.

Residential treatment (RT), which is currently recommended, actually places the substance abuser in a facility where care staff and experts who oversee their treatment monitor them. For Levi, this is a combination of medication, psychotherapy, physical activities, social activities, and counseling. The target is to support, guide, and monitor the client in completing this treatment plan, wherein the target is for the client to be rid of said addiction through the course of the plan. The continuum of care for addictive and compulsive behavior will be an important element in the plan. Additionally, the plan will take consideration of the particulars of the client to fit the plan to the client 's needs, situation, and personality. Wenzel, Brown and Beck (2009) suggest that "in the first session of counseling with suicidal patients, the following strategies should be used: (1) discuss structure and process of treatment, (2) emphasize compliance by the

My reflective clinical practice experience was based on my eight weeks placement in an acute mental health ward in a hospital. I was not sure of what to expect because I have never worked or placed in an acute ward and this was my second placement. Before starting my placement, I visited the ward and was inducted around the ward. This gave me a bit of confidence and reassurance about working in an acute ward.

A particular achievement that I am particularly proud of from my placement this week is the report that I wrote on R. v. Gladue. Ms. Fowler is on vacation all this week, so Keshia, another paralegal at Deverett Law Offices, gave me this assignment on Tuesday. This was the first time that I had written any sort of report at this placement. So far, most of my tasks included watching Ms. Fowler compose claims and affidavits, scanning and shredding documents, and going to Small Claims Court. The report was on a landmark Supreme Court case that dealt with the sentencing and rehabilitation of Aboriginals. My report consisted on a summary of the general case, an explanation of the decision that the Supreme Court judges made, and a few examples of

Today I had a great day at the clinic. For the morning section, I had Omar Lora as my patient. Last time when he came, I collected all my assessment data. Today I updated his medical history, dental history, vitals, and EIOE, then I completed filling out the gingival assessment, the treatment plan, and the SAOP. Finally, I was ready to have my assessment data checked. It went really well, and I learned ways to helped me be more efficient with my time management, for example, I did not know how to have my radiographs up in the other monitor while I was doing my assessments. It was a little time consuming having to open and minimized the window every time I needed to look at the radiographs. Also, I discovered that having a piece of paper out and taking

Explicit feedback condition. Participants in the “explicit feedback” condition followed almost the same procedure as those in the “implicit feedback” condition. However, after reporting their affective response to the outcome of their self-selected investment decision, participants were presented with feedback comparing their affective forecast to their actual affective response. Unlike the implicit condition, this feedback explicitly informed participants of their affective forecasting ability. The rates of return of the actual investment decisions were matched with the returns imagined in the affective forecasting task to enable individualized feedback comparing predicted and actual affective responses at the same rate of return for each participant (see web appendix D).
