- Foreshadow to the client the reason why we are mailing out the documents. - Foreshadow to the client how long it would take for documents to be received. Opportunities: - Did the Advocate insert relevant and effective LJN’s/Codes? Bryan noted the account as a document request Bryan should have included that the client is upset with our decision of not refunding the deposit and has hired a private investigator to look into documentation. - Empathy: When client said that she did a…

uses an empowering, collaborative approach, clients are responsible for providing frequent and honest data for the evaluation process (Coady & Lehmann, 2016). The assessment tools, such as the DASS, ProCannabis and schizophrenia severity scales can be duplicated regularly to ensure the client is receiving the maximum benefit from the therapeutic process. Also, CBT produces many documents that can be used as well such as any journaling written by the client, any self-monitoring…

spoken to. Counselling does involve a lot of listening and less of advice giving. It is a space in which the client can pour themselves out and unravel their thoughts; making sense of the current situations (Jacobs, 2010). Most times, the client knows what the answer to their problem is but they don’t know how to get to the solution. What the counsellor is trying to foster within the client is self reflection or an internal frame of reference from which to begin the…

approach that is used is important, however without these elements engaged with a client, the approach may not provide the client with the desired outcome. This empathic relationship helps clients understand themselves, recognize their unused resources, and manage their lives (Egan, 2014). These concepts facilitate a client-centered approach to therapy (Egan, 2014). Building of a good relationship enables the client and therapist do the work by whatever helping process is used (Egan,…

capacities a client has, but he/she will also be able to acknowledge the endowments, resources, and skills a client possesses. The strength perspective is related to a social work practice in the sense that when it comes to play, a social worker is able to teach and learn from what is being held during a practice.

of life (NOHS, n.d.).” While focusing on remediation of problems for clients, human services workers will face ethical decisions that will need to be considered. These decisions are based on codes of ethics, but also on the human service worker themselves. Lord and Cowen (2011) state “ethical behavior is based on knowing the difference between what is legal and what is moral.” Human…

information to determine the client’s presenting problem. The first page has a question concerning the purpose the client is seeking treatment. The first page also requests that the client list what their treatment goals are, check off their current symptoms and complete a suicide risk assessment. The symptoms checklist has 22 selections to choose with an additional two blank lines where the client can list another symptom. The checklist contains items such as depressed mood, excessive energy,…

Consequently, I agree with many of Doherty’s thoughts related to how clients are treated and how the therapist should use different skills. Accordingly, he sees that it is not possible for therapists to treat all clients the same, which I agree with because each person has his/her own character. Doherty talks about moral qualities that are used to help clients engage in treatment that is respectful of connections the client is a part of. I enjoyed his perspective on how counselors need to…

weekly plans to assess how many tasks are completed within 2 weeks is the SMART goal that I’ve developed along with the client. Personally, I believe that the goal was highly achievable and simple to understand/ follow. A significant part of the goal is that it does not require a huge commitment to complete. At the start of the day or of the week, tasks can be determined by the client, which is extremely flexible. Success is determined by the number of tasks completed. For the most part, the…

we are held in great esteem by the society, it is important that we try to follow the rules of ethical responsibility when dealing with our clients. However, it is una-voidable and unintentional, but the fact is, as a social worker our duties are to protect the clients from harm and not cause them more harm.
