Unit 10, Discussion Prompt Option 2

Real Life

Verbal prompts are typically described as being the least intrusive prompts. However, vocal verbal prompts can be the most difficult to fade. Have you ever struggled to engage in behavior without a vocal verbal prompt or have you worked with clients who appeared dependent on vocal verbal prompting? How might you transfer stimulus control to a naturally occurring stimulus?

Unit 10, Discussion Prompt Option 2

I have struggled with working with clients who appeared dependent on vocal verbal prompting. I worked with a client that was 5 years old non-verbal and we would use verbal prompts to get him to clap his hands and it was extremely hard to fade after a while on working on the skill. To transfer stimulus control to a naturally occurring stimulus we used musical instruments to clap instead of saying clap your hands.

I have used verbal prompts for many of my clients. I currently work with a 3 year old who often becomes distracted, do I use verbal prompts to bring him back to what we were doing. If he is working on a puzzle and becomes distracted, I say “puzzle.” This often brings him back to working on his puzzle. Sometimes, however, he is so distracted that a verbal prompt doesn’t work. In this case, I tap the table to draw his attention back to the puzzle that he is working on.

  • Psychological Treatment Plan 

    It is recommended that students review the e-book The Complete Adult Psychotherapy Treatment Planner (Jongsma, Peterson, & Bruce, 2014) for additional assistance in completing this assignment.

    Clinical and counseling psychologists utilize treatment plans to document a client’s progress toward short- and long-term goals. The content within psychological treatment plans varies depending on the clinical setting. The clinician’s theoretical orientation, evidenced-based practices, and the client’s needs are taken into account when developing and implementing a treatment plan. Typically, the client’s presenting problem(s), behaviorally defined symptom(s), goals, objectives, and interventions determined by the clinician are included within a treatment plan.

    To understand the treatment planning process, students will assume the role of a clinical or counseling psychologist and develop a comprehensive treatment plan based on the same case study utilized for the Psychiatric Diagnosis assignment in PSY645. A minimum of five peer-reviewed resources must be used to support the recommendations made within the plan. The Psychological Treatment Plan must include the headings and content outlined below.

    Behaviorally Defined Symptoms 

    • Define the client’s presenting problem(s) and provide a diagnostic impression.
    • Identify how the problem(s) is/are evidenced in the client’s behavior.
    • List the client’s cognitive and behavioral symptoms.

    Long-Term Goal 

    • Generate a long-term treatment goal that represents the desired outcome for the client.
      • This goal should be broad and does not need to be measureable.

    Short-Term Objectives

    • Generate a minimum of three short-term objectives for attaining the long-term goal.
      • Each objective should be stated in behaviorally measureable language. Subjective or vague objectives are not acceptable. For example, it should be stated that the objective will be accomplished by a specific date or that a specific symptom will be reduced by a certain percentage.

    Interventions

    • Identify at least one intervention for achieving each of the short-term objectives.
    • Compare a minimum of three evidence-based theoretical orientations from which appropriate interventions can be selected for the client.
    • Explain the connection between the theoretical orientation and corresponding intervention selected.
    • Provide a rationale for the integration of multiple theoretical orientations within this treatment plan.
    • Identify two to three treatment modalities (e.g., individual, couple, family, group, etc.) that would be appropriate for use with the client.

    It is a best practice to include outside providers (e.g., psychiatrists, medical doctors, nutritionists, social workers, holistic practitioners, etc.) in the intervention planning process to build a support network that will assist the client in the achievement of treatment goals.

    Evaluation

    • List the anticipated outcomes of each proposed treatment intervention based on scholarly literature.
      • Be sure to take into account the individual’s strengths, weaknesses, external stressors, and cultural factors (e.g., gender, age, disability, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, etc.) in the evaluation.
    • Provide an assessment of the efficacy of evidence-based intervention options.

    Ethics

    • Analyze and describe potential ethical dilemmas that may arise while implementing this treatment plan.
    • Cite specific ethical principles and any applicable law(s) for resolving the ethical dilemma(s).

    The Psychological Treatment Plan

    • Must be 8 to 10 double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.).
    • Must include a separate title page with the following:
      • Title of paper
      • Student’s name
      • Course name and number
      • Instructor’s name
      • Date submitted
    • Must use at least five peer-reviewed sources in addition to the course text.
    • Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
    • Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
