Rcf Process

A clinical assessment is then conducted for treatment needs. Different treatment plans are made for each client. Individualized treatment plans are used to make referrals and they are updated periodically.”

Allowing for our ethical codes of conduct, if the client is someone we feel we can proceed with, then as always, the first stage would be to develop a good rapport and gain the clients trust to develop an honest and open relationship with them. The client centred approach as always is the best method for this – to put the client at ease in a non-judgemental space where they can express their emotions and explore what it is they want to achieve with therapy. In giving the therapist an

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 evaluation should determine the basis of the difficulty or issues and assess the back ground of the client. After the completion of the evaluation, a professional can start constructing an agreement to fulfill the needs of the client. The treatment plan should include goals that relate to the difficulties and issues the client is experiencing, this assessment will discuss the components of Mr. McCunes personalized treatment program.

This week’s reading involved an overview of initial clinical interviewing with the client. The paper will reflect on the reading that described various ways to obtain the background and the struggles of the client. In addition, this paper will reflect on personal observations, concerns, and strengths related to the intake interview.

The intake form asks the client to explain their presenting problem. “The presenting problem is important because it suggests areas to be explored in assessment” (Hepworth,

If the client has had negative previous experiences then these issues need to be approached carefully. If the client shows signs of not trusting the therapy or believing that it will not work for them the efficacy of the treatment may be

After completing task 1 and reviewing the other disciplines initial assessments I am starting to appreciate the complexity a case can have and how vital it is for a client to be engaged in a multidisciplinary team to gain the

Discuss how you can use the information gleaned from this case study write up in your own clinical practice.

Friedberg and McClure (2015) described case conceptualization as personalized psychological portraits of each individual client (p. 11). When looking at each individual aspect, as well as how they connect with each other, the social worker will be able to get the whole picture of the client (Friedberg & McClure, 2015). The presenting problem is the center of the case conceptualization and has five symptom clusters (Friedberg & McClure, 2015). The five symptom clusters were physiological, mood, behavioral, cognitive, and interpersonal (Friedberg & McClure, 2015). When writing a case conceptualization, history and development, cognitive structures and predisposition, behavioral antecedents

Case conceptualization explains the nature of a client’s problem and how they develop such problem ( Hersen, & Porzelius, p.3, 2002) In counseling, assessment is viewed as a systematic gathering of information to address a client’s presenting concerns effectively. The assessment practice provides diagnostic formulation and counseling plans, and aids to identify assets that could help the client cope better with concern that they are current. Assessment is present as a guide for treatment and support in the “evaluation process. Although many methods can be employed to promote a thorough assessment, no one method should be used by itself” (Erford, 2010, p.269-270). Eventually, it is the counselor's job to gain adequate

There are many dynamic processes involved that case managers need to consider when providing their services and developing case plans that include etiology of the client’s disease and/or disorder, treatment approaches, available social services and programs, financial and legal implications. Many find it helpful to use a checklist to use as a guide to ensure that all aspects of case management meet the needs of the client, and should include:

I chose to use a co-worker for the role of client in this assignment. The co-worker and I work together four nights a week, and my thinking here was that she would then be available for whatever else work would be needed of her later in the term. I did not choose to use my teenagers or my girlfriend for the client, as I felt that I would be unable to refrain from asking any further questions if they expressed having a problem. I had her visit the computerized therapist Eliza, while I sat about six feet away from her, observing and taking notes. I only spoke to her when directly responding to things she said to me, otherwise I had no involvement. The results were not spectacular.

I have decided to use just three main components that are, in my view integral for the success of, the 8-to-10 session care plan. In my opinion First contact, trust building, and life enhancing goals, should be considered as one component. To me this is essential because, it is the foundation to start an effective treatment plan. No one will truly trust or confide in you as a counselor, if you don’t make a good impression. This is important to me since how can you as a counselor expect someone to really, and I mean really open up to you aren’t warm and inviting, trustworthy, and willing to be goal oriented in their treatment plan. Secondly, the BECHRISTLIKE example set forth in out text book is an imperative step. Think of it this way you are meeting a stranger whom you may know nothing about.

This proposal of a standardized but flexible treatment plan can be used in all aspects of the treatment facility. The plan will include the client’s input but will also include the counselor’s best judgement for treatment. This proposal will show the start of the assessment and end at the after-care component.
