Introduction The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast my interactions between the clients’ I used in my process recording. I used two different people for these recordings because we usually only see each court-mandated client once at the City of Tempe which is for the DUI (Driving Under the Influence) screening and/or ASI (assessment/screening and intake), which determines how many hours of education and/or training needs to be completed by the client to satisfy the court. Clients The client in my first process recording was a 31 year old female who decided to go out with her friends one night to …show more content…
I am very confident in doing these; I do them alone every time (with no supervision). With the ASI’s, I feel, because there is so much to go over, and so much extra time to do them, that I can step outside of the box, use some critical thinking by asking other questions besides the ones that are in the ASI. With this client, like I had mentioned in my process recording, I was more animated, I used story-telling to create a visual aid for the client. I was confident even though the topic of suicide made me uneasy because I was not sure what I was going to do from one minute to the next. I remember I kept thinking that if I don’t give him the best of me, then I can’t provide him the best care possible and he is relying on me to do this, so I had to pull it together and make it …show more content…
When he began discussing suicidal ideations, I felt like I might be out of my scope of practice. I knew my supervisor wouldn’t be back for a week, and her supervisor was out for the day. I knew I had no one to turn to, and had to do this myself. When I didn’t know what to do about something he said, I would ask another question, or back track, or clarify. I would do anything I could to stall in a professional manner until I could figure out what to do. Then I thought about you and CBT, so I thought I would give that a try, if nothing else, I could explain it. All of a sudden the problem saturated story came into my head (which was killing time, but creating a visual aid). That had to be my most challenging client so far. I had never dealt with ex-communication, shunning, Jehovah’s Witnesses, or suicidal ideation all in the same session before. Talk about overwhelming!!!! Contributing
2nd session: Client is a white male around the of 30. Clt primary substance us is heroin. The last time SWI met with the client SWI wanted to introduce herself to the clt and check-in about any concern the client might have.

What if you were trapped in a car with no escape and no one around except a big vicious man eating dog? Well,in the excerpt by Stephen King and movie Cujo filmed in the year 1983 that is just what happens to an unlucky mother and son. Though Cujo the book and movie have many similarities like when Tads window wasn't up all the way or when Tad had the same reaction when he saw Cujo.There were also many differences like the way Cujo approached the car or when Tad did not pass out before Cujo came to the window in the movie.But between the excerpt and the movie Cujo the excerpt Cujo was more
I originally planned this activity thinking that the client would visualize his father writing him a letter but, I was mistaken. When I processed the activity, the client discussed how his mother wrote the letter and told him to “behave and stay out of trouble.” His mother has been a guiding force for the client throughout his life and the client felt guilty that she was suffering with cancer while he was locked up for many years. The client, to this day, cannot visit her until his charges are settled or dropped.
The client is being assessed today due to a conviction of driving under the influence. The ruling judge ordered the client to obtain professional help with addiction problems. This assessment will
With my paper I will be discussing the importance of collecting appropriate data for intake and assessment forms, as well as addresses potential concerns associated with collecting the wrong data.. I have chosen the Case Study Scenario number 1; Belinda. Collecting the appropriate data for the intake and assessment forms is essential to have completed first before any other steps can be taken. If or when these forms are filled out appropriately they will help and provide the professional with an understanding of the client’s background history. This provides the professional with the information necessary to decide exactly what has been tried before in the past, where the client needs to be, and what the client’s main issue is that he or she is dealing with. If these forms are not filled out with the necessary information the professional will not know what is necessary for the client. These intake and assessment forms also provide the client’s contact information and other agency’s the client has been to.
During this process I have had the opportunity to read the case notes of various clients that I have worked with. I often times learned things about the client that I would not have known had I not read the notes or the assessments. Reading these notes allows me the ability to understand why the clients may have troubles with certain areas such as boundaries, communication or even money management. These case notes allow me to see areas of their treatment plan that they have worked on and understand any progress or obstacles that they may have
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).
The client has had a strong support system in the past and is open to creating another one. This is strength because it demonstrates that the client is open reaching out to others in times of need and is a resiliency factor.
The process of intake is the first step to the individual counseling and treatment. It is a one on one interview to set up dates and times best for the individual. Time and preparation are very important to this process because the program requires you to complete all your mandates. Today I interview ten different individuals. The issues are that court normally starts at 10 because of the judge so that leave me 2 hours to fully analyze every individual correctly and effectively. The first challenge I realize was that court does not work on people time. No matter how many people, there are some who not granted a fair and impractical trial. One of the individual because they could not understand why he was given more than 11 mandate was forced
The specific intervention chosen for this client is psychoeducation. Psychoeducation is used as a tool to strengthen and empower clients through education, identification of resources, and goal setting. The client was screened using a TSSAS questionnaire, which asks the client to discuss the history of their drinking. This information allows the department of the court to look for patterns within the client’s narrative. This questionnaire tool is also used to discuss substance use/abuse among clients’ family members to discuss possible genetic links that may be involved.
The clients presenting issue was forgiveness. She expressed her inability to forgive others and how it is affecting her life. The client begins by reminiscing on her past. Telling stories of how her mother, sister, and niece would call her names such as ‘fat ass’ while she was an adolescent. This has led her to hate her sister and feel negatively towards her mother. The client goes into detail about her current relationship with her mother, as well as expressing her hopes to have a stronger relationship with her. She feels as if her mother does not and will not validate her feelings and wishes her family would acknowledge that they wronged her in the past. In addition to her mother, the client states she also has issues forgiving her friends,
The client is a single, 24-year-old Caucasian male and makes a living as a laborer. The purpose for his assessment was to screen him upon violating his probation. Overall, his profile was consistent and appeared to be valid, although he may have a tendency to deny some of problems/ symptoms, or present himself in a more favorable light. His clinical scales were elevated in the areas of drugs, alcohol, antisocial, depressed, borderline and paranoia, which may have caused him to be rather hypervigilant and suspicious. His antisocial symptoms may indicate that he has a hard time with authority, poor relationships/ interpersonal relationships, and likely have situational depressive responses. The subscales indicate that he may be inclined to feel
During my time with the Drexel clinic I have the opportunity to horizontally represent a client (E.Gray). I had the opportunity to take on an additional research project where I represented a vertical client. The goal is to have Mr. Gray admitted for Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition. This program is for first-time offenders with no prior criminal convictions or prior ARD dispositions; should the defendant complete the ARD program, they may petition to expunge their record. The primary purpose of the ARD program is the prompt disposition of charges, eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming trials and other court proceedings. My task was to collect all of the important documentation needed in support of the ARD letter. However, because Mr. Gray is the sole business owner of a restaurant, it was extremely hard to get in contact with him and collect all the documents needed to effectively advocate for him. It wasn’t that Mr. Gray didn’t want to comply; it was that he did not have the ability to do so. My client financially supports his mother, his two children, his girlfriend, and the eleven employees who also have families to support. Therefore, collecting documents was not a priority. Nevertheless, I wrote several character letters and spent endless hours and days collecting proof of prior employment, business records, and a high school diploma, among other things. Needless to say, I understood why most lawyer do not have the capacity to serve each of our clients the way I catered to Mr. Gray. Despite the effort to obtain all the documentation from Mr. Gray, had I had ample clients, I would have been doing my other clients a disservice by allotting too much time to another. I was one legal intern matched with one vertical client, opposed to, one attorney who is matched with several clients, some of them being vertically represented. The
