? Identify at least one intervention for achieving each of the shortterm objectives

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.
o 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.
o 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.
