Signature Assignment: Clinical Application Paper Advanced Individual Counseling– Implement theory and techniques from multiple orientations to therapeutic problems of individuals. Overview of the Assignment: Students will be given a number of vignettes from which to choose to use for this paper. Students will choose one vignette and write a paper that details ALL the items listed below. Be sure to completely and thoroughly complete all items in order to receive full-points. Use headings for each section. Review the rubric before beginning this paper in order to thoroughly understand the basis upon which this paper will be graded. This paper is worth 160 points. Note: You may also want to review the Sample Assessment/Treatment Plan Paper provided under the Course Information tab, as the tasks for this paper are very similar. Instructions: First, carefully review the vignette, then write a paper that includes all of the following information. Be sure to complete all six sections thoroughly and completely. 1) Diagnosis: a) Provide client’s diagnosis using DSM-5. Include all modifiers and/or specifiers. Provide at least 4 symptoms that the client meets for the diagnosis you chose. 2) Other therapeutic issues: a) Description and discussion of at least 6 other relevant therapeutic issues/problems and client characteristics (in addition to their diagnosis) such as relationship, occupational, financial, legal, ethical, social or other related life stressor or issues, ethnicity, race, religion, family/marital status, sexual orientation, age, gender identification, strengths, or other biopsychosocial or environmental factors and/or client characteristics that may be highly relevant to therapy with this client. b) Discussion of how the issues/characteristics you describe may potentially impact therapy either positively, negatively, or both. 3) Referrals: a) Description of at least 2 referrals you would make for this client and why. 4) Goals: a) Discuss at least 4 long term and 3 short term goals for therapy with this client based on assisting the client with the diagnosis and problems/issues/characteristics discussed in Sections 1 and 2. b) Describe why you chose these goals. 5) Therapies: a) Description and brief discussion of two evidence-based /empirically validated theoretical orientations covered in this class (i.e. ACT, IPT or DBT), b) Discuss how each of the two orientations could be used with this client based on client’s diagnosis/problems/issues and personal characteristics. Complete sections a and b for each orientation separately. You must use a minimum of 2 references for each orientation in this section. 6) Treatment Plans: Create two separate treatment plans to meet the goals you described in Section Four using the two different theoretical orientations you used to answer Section Five. For each orientation the plan should include the following: a) name and describe at least one intervention/technique from the orientation that you would use to help the client accomplish each goal. (There should be at least one intervention/technique discussed for each goal from Section 4.), b) provide an example of how you would use each of the named interventions/techniques with this particular client to meet each goal, c) discuss how using each of the named interventions/techniques would help the client to reach the goal. Note: For this section you may use the same technique to meet more than one goal, but be sure to separately provide an example for how the technique would be used to meet each goal and how it would help the client to reach the goal. Additional Information and Requirements: This paper should be between 10 and 15 pages in APA format, not including title and reference pages. You do not need to include an abstract for this paper. Be sure to cite and reference (7) any sources you use. Not citing or referencing sources is a form of plagiarism, so be sure to cite and reference ALL sources. You are allowed to use portions of other assignments you have completed for this course ONLY to complete this paper (i.e. you may use work you did for the vignette assignments on Blackboard or the Assessment/Treatment Plan papers you wrote in this course in this paper.) You may not use work from other courses. I WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH THE VIGNETTE WHEN YOU ACCEPT THE JOB.
