|
1.) Determining eligibility |
- not a cut and dry process - based on clinical interpretation -funding affects what services can be rendered |
|
|
2.) Assessment(Pyschosocial) |
- the assessment requires information gathering and analysis skills - documentation that summarizes what is learned about the client and provides a bigger picture of how to help - includes demographics, personal/ family history, presenting problem, state of the problem behavior, current needs/plans |
|
|
3.) Problem Identification |
-comprehensive labeling ( be familiar with different diagnosis) - service deficits ( what they lack) - lack of involvement with natural community resources (family connections, religious institutions, community centers, volunteer networks, or recreational opportunities) - problems should be defined in terms of what a client does, thinks, or feels |
|
|
4.) Establishing problem severity |
-severity can be assessed by way of client, it can be based off reports by others, and finally by what is observed |
|
|
5.) Hypothesis development |
-Sometimes there is a direct link to why something happens but it can be complicated - each hypothesis dictates a different intervention - a hypothesis is your best educated guess based on the information you learned - a hypothesis can be tested but may not be correct if little improvement is shown and needs to be re-evaluated -assesment at the personal/interpersonal level is easier than at the community/ organizational level -therapy is not the answer for every situation although it can be useful if used correctly - clinicians need to aid in fixing the immediate problem - consider how resources are allocated and that some interventions may or may not work when assessing issues |
|
|
6) Setting goals |
- agreed upon goals can increase accountability between the worker and the client and defines what is expected over time -goals can be behavioral( what they do) or service related ( the connections they must garner) - goals need to be specific and clear ( spell out when goal is reached) -a negative goal ( explanation of what should be stopped) should always include a positive goal( an appropriate way to get there) -one essential skill is partializing (breaking a problem up)...that includes shaping- the art of successive approximations ( moving client in right direction to their goal) |
