Topic: Treatment Plan Case Study

Order Description Instructions for Completin" rel="nofollow">ing the Treatment Plannin" rel="nofollow">ing Assignment There are a number of cases to choose from. First read through the cases and decide which one you want to complete a treatment plan for. There is a sample treatment plan available for your review. Below is an outlin" rel="nofollow">ine of each area of the treatment plan that you must complete. All treatment plans should in" rel="nofollow">include a reference page with full references for any assessment in" rel="nofollow">instruments. Short Term Objectives These are goals or tasks you want to accomplish in" rel="nofollow">in the early stages of treatment with your client. Thin" rel="nofollow">ink immediate goals such as establishin" rel="nofollow">ing rapport. You should have at least 3 short term objectives. Long Term Objectives These will be more long term goals you hope to accomplish with your client. This might in" rel="nofollow">include decrease in" rel="nofollow">in the severity of the presentin" rel="nofollow">ing problem or a total cessation of the problem. You should have at least 3 long term objectives. Assessment This section should in" rel="nofollow">include any and all in" rel="nofollow">instruments you might use to assess a client’s condition. This may in" rel="nofollow">include assessments that you may not be able to perform yourself, due to the expertise required. In that case, you would in" rel="nofollow">indicate the specialist who would conduct the assessment. For example, you may want to refer your patient for a full physical examin" rel="nofollow">ination and this would be done by a physician. You will need to research in" rel="nofollow">instruments, standardized and validated, that may be used to assess your client’s condition. Be sure to use the proper citation for the measure. All measures have an author. Clin" rel="nofollow">inician This section should describe the clin" rel="nofollow">inician in" rel="nofollow">in terms of gender, age, and therapeutic characteristics. In addition, you should describe the clin" rel="nofollow">inician as havin" rel="nofollow">ing experience in" rel="nofollow">in the particular type of counselin" rel="nofollow">ing/therapy that will be conducted with the client. The clin" rel="nofollow">inician should also be familiar with treatin" rel="nofollow">ing the disorder. Location Where should the counselin" rel="nofollow">ing take place? Inpatient? Outpatient? Private practice? Community Agency? Perhaps several different locations for different therapeutic in" rel="nofollow">interventions should be recommended. Interventions This section should specifically describe the type of therapeutic in" rel="nofollow">interventions that are goin" rel="nofollow">ing to be employed. For example, cognitive-behavioral therapy, relaxation train" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing, exercise, journalin" rel="nofollow">ing, etc. Be very specific about the types of in" rel="nofollow">interventions that will be used. This is where you really need to cite the research literature on what is effective for your client’s disorder. Emphasis Describe the nature of the counselin" rel="nofollow">ing in" rel="nofollow">in terms of the approach used by the therapist. For example, terms such as highly structured, directive, supportive, confrontative, educational, might be used. 2 Number of People Will the treatment be in" rel="nofollow">individual or group or family? This is the section that will detail the number of people (clients) in" rel="nofollow">involved in" rel="nofollow">in the treatment process. Timin" rel="nofollow">ing This section will detail the frequency of the sessions (how often per week/month) and for approximately how long. If there are expected changes in" rel="nofollow">in the frequency, this section will describe that as well. Medication If medication is deemed necessary for this condition, this section should describe any medications that are commonly used. Brief description of the medication’s effect on the condition as well as any potential side effects should be reviewed. This is another section of the paper where citation from the literature is important. Adjunct Services If additional adjunct services are necessary for complete client care, they should be described in" rel="nofollow">in this section. This might in" rel="nofollow">include, for example, referral to AA programs, support groups, residence in" rel="nofollow">in a group home. Prognosis In this section, you should describe the prognosis for this condition. You may use terms such as “good”, “fair”, “uncertain" rel="nofollow">in” and make your prediction based on client characteristics (i.e. compliance with treatment, premorbid functionin" rel="nofollow">ing, support factors, etc). Be sure to state the prognosis for your particular case based on characteristics of the client or their situation. Be specific about your case not just all people with this disorder. Diagnosis Usin" rel="nofollow">ing the DSM 5, provide the code and full name of the disorder for the client. Remember to use all categories of the DSM, in" rel="nofollow">includin" rel="nofollow">ing “Other conditions that may be a focus of clin" rel="nofollow">inical attention”. APA Style References A proper list in" rel="nofollow">in APA style of the all the work you cited in" rel="nofollow">in your treatment plan. This should in" rel="nofollow">include, at a min" rel="nofollow">inimum, two research articles found in" rel="nofollow">in journals. Try to avoid reliance on websites and the text book. Attached is a sample paper to show you how to complete this paper. I also attached the case you need to complete this assignment, which is case number 2 about Maria Greco.
