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)
