PSY 650 week 6

  Psychological Treatment Plan

It is recommended that students review the e-book The Complete Adult Psychotherapy Treatment Planner (Jongsma, Peterson, & Bruce, 2014) for additional assistance in completing this assignment.

Clinical and counseling psychologists utilize treatment plans to document a client’s progress toward short- and long-term goals. The content within psychological treatment plans varies depending on the clinical setting. The clinician’s theoretical orientation, evidenced-based practices, and the client’s needs are taken into account when developing and implementing a treatment plan. Typically, the client’s presenting problem(s), behaviorally defined symptom(s), goals, objectives, and interventions determined by the clinician are included within a treatment plan.

To understand the treatment planning process, students will assume the role of a clinical or counseling psychologist and develop a comprehensive treatment plan based on the same case study utilized for the Psychiatric Diagnosis assignment in PSY645. A minimum of five peer-reviewed resources must be used to support the recommendations made within the plan. The Psychological Treatment Plan must include the headings and content outlined below.

Behaviorally Defined Symptoms Define the client’s presenting problem(s) and provide a diagnostic impression. Identify how the problem(s) is/are evidenced in the client’s behavior. List the client’s cognitive and behavioral symptoms.

Long-Term Goal Generate a long-term treatment goal that represents the desired outcome for the client. This goal should be broad and does not need to be measureable.

Short-Term Objectives Generate a minimum of three short-term objectives for attaining the long-term goal. Each objective should be stated in behaviorally measureable language. Subjective or vague objectives are not acceptable. For example, it should be stated that the objective will be accomplished by a specific date or that a specific symptom will be reduced by a certain percentage.

Interventions Identify at least one intervention for achieving each of the short-term objectives. Compare a minimum of three evidence-based theoretical orientations from which appropriate interventions can be selected for the client. Explain the connection between the theoretical orientation and corresponding intervention selected. Provide a rationale for the integration of multiple theoretical orientations within this treatment plan. Identify two to three treatment modalities (e.g., individual, couple, family, group, etc.) that would be appropriate for use with the client.

It is a best practice to include outside providers (e.g., psychiatrists, medical doctors, nutritionists, social workers, holistic practitioners, etc.) in the intervention planning process to build a support network that will assist the client in the achievement of treatment goals.

Evaluation List the anticipated outcomes of each proposed treatment intervention based on scholarly literature. Be sure to take into account the individual’s strengths, weaknesses, external stressors, and cultural factors (e.g., gender, age, disability, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, etc.) in the evaluation. Provide an assessment of the efficacy of evidence-based intervention options.

Ethics Analyze and describe potential ethical dilemmas that may arise while implementing this treatment plan. Cite specific ethical principles and any applicable law(s) for resolving the ethical dilemma(s).

The Psychological Treatment Plan Must be 8 to 10 double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. Must include a separate title page with the following: Title of paper Student’s name Course name and number Instructor’s name Date submitted Must use at least five peer-reviewed sources in addition to the course text.

Initial call transcript from the patient’s point of view

I am a husband of one child and have stayed in the marriage for the last 34 years. I have been working for a New Jersey Company for the last 32 years. My life completely changed when my brain stopped working properly. At the start, the problems seemed small, hardly noticeable. Life was good before, until my brain went downhill, taking the whole family down with it. I have been a dedicated father who loves his family. I realized things have started to change when I forgot about my anniversary. My wife was furious that that day and I hardly noticed her anger and reaction until she reminded me about the anniversary. Forgetting even very little things made me visit the psychiatrist. Also, I could the plates on the floor after eating, spilling the food all over me, and unable to drive when am heading to work. I needed to visit the psychotherapy to know why the brain has been not functioning properly.
