As a counselor to Alan I would used the following 5 assessments. I would use either Beck Depression Inventory or/both Hamilton Depression Inventory to look at the client’s depression.

The problem with this statement, is they give no source for who conducted the

If I was a Mental Health clinician working with Paul to overcome his anxiety issues, I would also make sure to utilize a multidisciplinary team including an addictions counselor since Paul has been exhibiting signs of a drinking addiction. I would collaborate with the addictions counselor to come up with an effective treatment plan for Paul.

Both the addictions counselor and I should be able to evaluate treatment outcomes and set treatment goals to ensure a full and effective prognosis for Paul. In terms of Paul’s addiction issue, I would suggest

The suitability for Jason for cognitive interventions is high. My reasons for this are the client’s psychosocial stressors such as homelessness, lack of support system, and his financial situation.
