Therapy is successful when it moves the client forward by making a positive inner growth in the client’s life.
This type of treatment is used with in the micro and macro levels of social work practice. It is effective for many individuals who seek the help of social services agencies. It is a social worker’s primary duty to respect the inherent dignity and worth of a person. This social work technique, does so by allowing the client to empower themselves. The social worker must “begin where the client”, therefore, it is important in the facilitation of the helping relationship that the client initiates their own solutions to their own problems. When the client is experiencing challenges, this intervention technique motivates the client and enhances their self-determination. The Solution Based approach is essential in real world practice because the
Scales evaluated by the client were: the Barrett Lennard Relationship Inventory, sessions 3, 8,16 (BARLEN; Barrett-Lennard, 1962). The Retrospective assessment of therapy experience, after treatment, a 1 to 5 scale rating of how well treatment moved. SASB, sessions 3, 8, 16, 22.2. The measures assessed through the therapist were SASB, sessions 3, 8, 16, 22. The Post-Session assessment, a unique detail of how well the meeting went. On a ten-point scale rated regarding sessions 3 and 16 (PSR); and Therapist Regrets, a yes/no evaluation of whether the therapist reported, having made mistakes during session 3. Finally, supervisors evaluated the therapist after training on six items, for example, competence and motivation). The individual observers, progressive clinical psychology graduate students or practicing clinicians trained to use the measures, obtuse to the theory of the current training, and formed into teams of at least two evaluation per measure from which their average score was taken to improve reliability. Therapists on every cohort grasp certain evaluation process throughout. Furthermore, and, at least, two other groups were available for all measures, except the VNIS and the HA, for each which only had one cohort. Assignment of each cohort videotape segments based on a goal of equal numbers of parts for each cohort, as well as the availability for the evaluation of the cohorts. The mediocre was also taken, wherever data occurred and available from multiple
One of the major shortcomings of such plan might be ineffectiveness in case if they are not appropriately understood or followed by the patients. In the structured or unstructured interview sessions, the patients would be provided with psychotherapies by the experienced and skilled professionals and the advice need to be maintained by the patients to have effective outcomes. Psychotherapy often takes longer periods of time which is another drawback of this treatment procedure where the patients in majority times might feel disappointed with their treatment mode (James and Gilliland,
This case study illustrates Ruth being the client. This provides background information about Ruth includes the presenting problem, the history of presenting problem and the psychosocial history. The key concepts, the therapeutic process, the therapeutic relationship, therapist function and roll comes from the three theories Gestalt, Existential and Adlerian.

This case study applies detailed techniques from Gestalt and Adlerian also providing specific examples of Ruth participating in the different techniques. Such as advice, catching oneself, lifestyle assessment, encouraging, task setting and commitment, future projection, empty chair and
Furthermore, therapists schedule their meetings with patients for an average of 12-16 sessions, where each session lasts for 50 minutes. During each session, patients are taught new skills to increase daily functioning and counter negativistic thinking. There are four important stages in CBT intervention: Assessment, Cognitive, Behaviour and Learning. Firstly, assessment stage includes skill-building sessions on behavioural activation to increase patient engagement. Patients are asked about their understanding of what is causing depression, whether any daily activities have been discontinued and why they were discontinued. Then, therapists advise patients about balancing their lives with necessary daily activities and help form a treatment
The broad therapeutic goals are to ultimately help the client live a fulfilling life, without the maladaptive thoughts that they are having, which brought them to therapy. This ultimate goal can be accomplished by changing the client’s current thoughts, which are causing them unease, to more positive and/or healthy ones. Clients need to examine how they dealt with situations in the past, and determine what worked, and what did not, so that they can change the strategies that didn’t work. When clients realize that they can change their thoughts, this will trickle down and change their emotions and behaviors as well. Once they understand this, it will help them to live healthier lives. One of the goals is also to equip the client with the necessary tools so that they can cope with situations on their own.
Stages of change are interrelated with the stages of treatment. The client’s expectation of progress, through the treatment stages, are consistent in these stages of change. There are five stages of change, each with its own characteristics. First is the precontemplation stage where the client has no intention to change any time soon, and also may be unaware, or clueless of any problems. Second is the contemplation stage were the client is aware of the existing problem and has strong thoughts of changing, but has not established any commitment due to indecisions to move ahead. Third is the preparation stage were the client intends to take some kind of action in the future, usually within in a month. The clinician is the key in helping make a realistic assessment for the client’s goals. Commitment to change without the appropriate activates and skills can create a weak and incomplete plan. This stage is where some meaningful action has taken place in the past few months but has not yet been effective enough. Action is the fourth stage in which the client has made a definite and specific adjustment in their behavior within the last six months. It is important to provide reinforcement and support in helping maintain positive steps towards change. This modification to the client’s behavior is only in the form of action and should not be considered as actual change. The maintenance stage involves successfully avoiding former behaviors and keeping up with the new behaviors. In
The first section of the treatment plan is establishing the therapeutic relationship. This section also established how the assessment will be evaluated based on the cultural, sexual preference, religious and socio-economical dynamics of the client and family (Gerhart, 2014). The purpose would be to establish any crisis issues that need immediate attention (Gerhart, 2014). The next section involves the working phase, which consists of setting two to three goals. The working phases consists of adjusting the goals to the progression or non-progression the client and/or family is making throughout the therapeutic relationship (Gerhart, 2014). The purpose of the working phases is using the appropriate language to document the proper treatment
Individuals’ mental status or physical/ behavioral recovery or medical treatment cannot persist in a healthy phase if their social roles in relationships are unaccounted or if their family is homeless, or they are living in a toxic social environment. I believe, even with the integration, of healthcare professional, the primary focus of social work should not only encompass psychological forces, the environment, or the social structure but on the boundary or the relationship between the person and the social

When she is able to doing the same work repeatedly with her and her provider then , her main role is being able to maintain this and appropriate motivational reinforcements is to follow for her to realize
Some of these weaknesses and limitations were caused by the way this particular project was set up, while others stem from the limitations of quantitative research in general. During the entire evaluation, there was no control group. This means that the evaluation cannot be attributed to the counselling service alone. It is likely that there were other factors unrelated to the school counselling service that influenced the participants’ mental health in some way. If this study were done again, it would be helpful and quite important to have a control group that does not use the counselling service for the duration of the study. This was mostly because of the pilot nature of this
