This assignment has two parts, based on the client and recorded role-play from the face-to-face residency. Part 1 is the completed case conceptualization; Part 2 is the transcription analysis.Once completed, you will upload the two separate documents to the assignment area.
Part 1: Case Conceptualization
Open the Case Conceptualization media piece (linked in the Resources) and complete the information in the online form for the tab titled “Case Conceptualization.” Be certain to review the scoring guide before you begin writing and note that integrating current peer-reviewed literature is required to meet the Distinguished criteria. The selected counseling theory should be consistent with what you applied in your recorded role-play and guide how you frame the treatment goals and interventions selected.
You do not have to complete the plan in one setting; you may save your work and return to the plan as many times as you need to complete your work. This gives you the opportunity to build your case conceptualization in stages. Once you have completed each of the sections, including an APA style reference list, you will create a PDF to be uploaded in the assignment area.
Part 2: Transcription Analysis
For this part of the assignment, you will transcribe a ten-minute segment of the recorded role-play. Use the Transcription Form (linked in Resources) to create your transcript. Be sure to complete all columns in the transcription form. Format the Transcription Form columns as follows:

Transcription column: Use a different row for each speaker’s words. Use “CO” for Counselor and “CL” for Client.
Clinical Competencies Utilized column: (“What I Did.”) Identify clinical competencies. Competencies may include application of core counseling skills, assessment questions, diagnosis, and theory-based interventions, depending on what is demonstrated in your segment of the counseling. Examples:

Reflection of experience.
Minimal simple encouragement or simple empathic statement (core counseling skills).
Assessment question.
Identifying, acknowledging, or reviewing symptoms (link to diagnosis).
Other responses that are specific to your chosen theoretical approach.

Analysis of Clinical Thinking column: (“What I Was Thinking.”) Analyze your reasoning for your response. Provide a rationale that is based on the client’s statement, your theoretical approach, or both. Identify the theoretical approach by pointing out examples of your use of the model’s main concepts. Examples:

“I see Audrey’s difficulty with social situations in part as being due to learned behavior” (link to theory). “Her tendency to generalize her shyness to all areas of her life keeps her from making any progress.”
“So, on a scale of 1 to 10, how close to your goal do you see yourself?” (Potential counselor statement in the transcription column). “Here I was using a scaling question from the solution-focused model.”

Evaluation of Response column: (“What I Would Do Differently Now.”) Evaluate the effectiveness of your statements and include anything you could do differently. Example:

“I think pointing out Audrey’s irrational thinking is important. At the same time, I now think I may be moving the process a bit too quickly. I think an empathic response would have been more effective here. I am basing this on how Audrey responded after I pointed out she was generalizing her negative thinking. I wish I had said __ .”

Requirements
You are expected to meet the following requirements.

Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to APA style and formatting. A title page is not required for the transcription template submission and is not possible for the treatment plan.
Number of resources: Minimum of fiveresources. These resources must be cited in your work and a reference section should be created in the last treatment plan section.

Note: Your instructor may also use the Writing Feedback Tool to provide feedback on your writing. In the tool, click the linked resources for helpful writing information.

TREATMENT PLAN

For this assignment, you will further develop a treatment plan for one case study subject that you previously selected from eight possible candidates. The clients in the case studies are ethnically diverse and are struggling with a variety of mental health issues.
During the course of this project you will:

Evaluate client information.
Review possible assessment techniques.
Offer a diagnostic impression.
Review various behavioral and pharmacological treatments.
Discuss the legal and ethical ramifications of the disorder and proposed treatments.
Review the impact of diversity issues on various disorders and their treatments.
Develop a suggested treatment plan for the client.

You do not have to complete the assignment all in one sitting; you may save your work and then access your treatment plan at all times by relaunching the presentation.

SECOND PART OF THE TREATMENT PLAN
Case Conceptualization
A case conceptualization is an opportunity for a clinician to take information about a client and paint a clinical picture that includes information such as diagnosis, treatment planning, theoretical framework, and intervention selection. This should be written in normal, narrative language, not using clinical shorthand (for example, “client stated”¦,” “client presented”¦.” Instead, write, “The client is a 42-year-old female who is dealing with many life changes”¦”). Provide the overall clinical treatment picture for this client, including the following:
Select each tab to enter its pertinent information. Each tab must be filled out before your report can be submitted.

Theoretical Foundation
Treatment Plan
Legal and Ethical Considerations
Diversity Considerations of Presenting Problem and Proposed Treatment Strategies

THIS IS THE CLIENT YOU THAT IS CHOSEN
Hafsa is a 24-year-old Muslim woman. She was able to relocate to the United States when she was 18. She has been living on her own, taking college courses and working since that time. Recently, her family has been able to come to the United States and they have joined her. Her family is having trouble assimilating in the U.S. They expect Hafsa to work and support them, to always be available to take them where they want to go, and to serve as an interpreter, etcetera. Since Hafsa has been in the United States, she is less observant of the strict, traditional Muslim guidelines that her family practices (such as observance of holidays, prayers, customs of food, and abstaining from alcohol). This is a constant source of conflict within the family.
