Constructing a treatment and service plan for a client involves various components. Prior to starting a treatment plan the professional should carry out a client evaluation.

The practice that assist a therapist in determining a client diagnosis and the proper treatment plan that would resolve the issue surrounding the clinet’s diagnosis is Case Conceptualization and Treatment Planning. The clinet’s treatment plan must be appropriate and relational and this will alow any type of medication and adaptions to be adjusted if needed so that modifications and adaptations can be adjusted as needed (Altman, Briggs, Frankel, Gensler, and Pantone, 2002). The ultimate goal of case conceptualization and treatment planning is to discover complete findings in relation to the client. One approach is Existential Therapy. The human

Throughout the class, many aspects of the curriculum were seen as useful in future social work practice. Before this course, in other course work, treatment planning and goal setting was often something that was reviewed briefly, yet within the coursework of the capstone seminar this matter had been gone over in more detail. Within this course, it was possible to gain more insight into a more balanced way of setting treatment goals that included conversations with the client concerning what they desired out of treatment in addition to what was needed. This aspect of the course was particularly useful when it came to working towards the development of the treatment plan with the client who was presented during the case presentation, Sarah.

The first contrasting marker between NV and V clients is that NV are not necessarily seeking services and therefore these clients’ participation is often mandated through a referential basis (Bogo, 2006). The mandated nature of the therapy can cause NV clients to feel bewildered or coerced into the relationship, which ultimately affects the efficacy of the therapy (Ivanoff, Blythe & Tripodi, 1994; Smith, 2011; Turney, 2012 & Yatchmenoff, 2005). Second, depending on the context of the mandate the client may present with intrapersonal psychological underpinnings inhibiting their ability to wilfully participate in the interpersonal dynamics of the services offered by the worker (Briere, 1992 & Steel et al., 2004). To elaborate, consider working with a child that has been sexually abused by her caregivers but does not view the activities as abuse and is thereby in disarray or resistant to the introduction of any sort of therapy. It is difficult to convince any individual to accept aid if they do not believe it is warranted (Gil, 1988 and Paolucci, Genuis & Violato, 2001).

Mental disorders are not harmful, they are harmful dysfunctions” (p. 131). When a client receives a diagnosis, it does not mean that client will have that diagnosis for the rest of their life. There is a misconception that when a client is diagnosed with a mental disorder, it becomes their identity. There are sufficient treatments, whether therapeutic or medicinal, that can assist the client overcome their disorder (Nash, 22). The most important thing a client can do is to separate themselves from their diagnosis.

Transference and countertransference can made the counseling process challenging and difficult for both clients and counselors. It could damage the trust and relationship between counselors and clients. Affect the perception as the same time could affect the behavior of both. Moreover, some clients might change their behaviors towards the counselor, some examples will be dressing like the counselor, seek answers instead of discovering their own answers, the clients might feel powerless and indecisive affecting how the counselor might feel and react toward their clients. In addition, the counselors might affect their clients successful outcomes in treatment when a counselor might had some traumatic issues that might project into their clients. Some examples could be when the counselor response to their clients as a paternal/maternal nurturing, insecurities, seductive behaviors, and so on (Young,

In clinical setting, the case formulation guides a therapist how to structure the sessions and by prioritising the client’s core problems, give rise to a plan and choice of intervention. Case formulation is an element of an empirical hypothesis testing approach to clinical work and has three main elements which are assessment, formulation and intervention. The process of case formulation starts with an unstructured ‘problem list’ (Persons, 1989), then proceeds to look for common themes which could suggest underlying beliefs, schemas and early life experiences. This supports CBT in standing up against criticisms made by psychodynamic theorists which states that CBT deals only with symptom reduction, having no underlying rationale (Persons et al., 1996).

The assessment and providing a diagnosis for a client is an active and involved segment in client treatment. Prior to designing a treatment plan for a client, a practitioner must assess and diagnose the client. Practitioners are not limited to standardized assessments alone in making their assessment of a client. The subsequent discussion is regarding the case study of Evelyn C., which will also include discussion on her diagnosis, assessments, and any data that would be necessary for collection in her treatment.

Introduction For counselors, case conceptualization is how we understand the nature of clients’ concerns, the ways in which the problems have developed, and the types of counseling interventions, theories, and techniques that might be helpful to solve these problems. A good case conceptualization should effectively link a client’s presenting problem to a treatment plan as well as provide the basis for tailoring treatment to client need and expectations” (Sperry, 2005). Problem Immediately, Jill’s age is a factor.

It is important when working with clients that consideration is given to the methods and approaches used with regards to specific client’s needs and personality as well as consideration regarding presenting issues. Here a case study of Jane is used to argue /evaluate and assess how both a psychodynamic counselor and cognitive behavioral therapist (CBT) would view the case study of Jane from their perspectives. Consideration will be given from both a psychodynamic approach and CBT approach of how a therapist might work with Jane. The main similarities and differences of both the psychodynamic and CBT approaches will be analyzed. This will lead into an evaluation of which is the most appropriate approach in working with Jane by
