Diagnoses: Assessment includes information on people's mental disorders, relevant medical conditions, their stressors, and their overall levels of coping and adjustments.

Front 29

O - Objectives of Treatment

Back 29

Objectives of treatment: decisions on treatment objectives or goals should be made in collaboration with the client using the best available information considering costs benefits resources and options – the therapist and the client work together to create a treatment plan.

Front 30

A – Assessment

Back 30

Clinician also should collect and review any relevant records and prior assessment information, for example psychological tests and medical evaluations, most therapists seem to be making increased use of diagnostic interviews inventories and rating scales.

Front 31

C – Clinician Characteristics

Back 31

Therapists interpersonal skills influence the progress of therapy to such an extent that many psychotherapies is routinely practiced are evidence-based when delivered by therapists who can offer high levels of interpersonal skills on a performance based measure.

Front 32

L – Location

Back 32

Often placement will be determined or limited bank insurance providers are financials considerations. Clearly decisions regarding the best placement for an adult, adolescent, or child will require weighing a variety of complicated and interrelated factors. Options typically include inpatient treatment such as a hospital or residential treatment program, day treatment program, or outpatient treatment.

Front 33

I – Interventions

Back 33

Once the clinician has identified the treatment setting for a particular person, the next step probably will be to determine the specific approaches and strategies that will guide treatment.

Front 34

E – Emphasis

Back 34

The multitude of approaches to psychotherapy reflects only one aspect of the diversity that exists in treatment interventions. Variation in the implementation of therapies also greatly increases the diversity of approaches. Clinicians adopt models of psychotherapy to their own personal styles and individualized treatments to meet the needs of particular clients. Therefore the application of an approach to psychotherapy differs from one therapeutic relationship to another.

Front 35

N – Numbers

Back 35

The therapist must also decide who will being treated. Some disorders, such as OCD, our best resolved with individual therapy; others, such as oppositional defiant disorder or substance use disorders, are best treated with a family therapy component. Group treatment is another consideration.

Front 36

T – Timing

Back 36

The typical client is seeing once a week for session of 45 to 50 minutes in length, but the frequency of therapy sessions can vary. One session every other week is often used in supportive therapy, particularly toward the end of treatment, whereas clients in psychoanalysis, we have five sessions per week. The duration of therapy also varies widely, and is often difficult to predict but research indicates that most of the therapeutic effect will take place within the first 10 to 20 sessions.

Front 37

M – Medication

Back 37

Medication combined with therapy, seems particularly useful for disorders involving debilitating anxiety, endogenous depression, mania, or psychosis. Therapy alone may be all that is needed in treating problems involving adjustment, behavior, relationships, mild to moderate anxiety, reactive depression, and some personality disorders. Medication is increasingly being used along with therapy to enhance the impact of psychotherapy on the primary diagnosis by alleviating the underlying symptoms.

Front 38

A – Adjunct Services

Back 38

Adjunct services can provide additional sources of support, education, and training. Adjunct services can also be suggested for family members. All adjunct services should reinforce the goals the client is working on. Whether it is an exercise program, volunteer activities to improve social isolation, mindfulness and stress reduction workshops, or biofeedback to help people recognize bodily sensations, the types of services suggested should reinforce progress that a client is making and individual therapy.

Front 39

P – Prognosis

Back 39

Prognosis refers to the likelihood that clients will achieve their objectives when treated according to the plan that has been developed to help them. Prognosis depends largely on two variables: the nature and severity of the disorders and problems, and the client's motivations to make positive changes.
