B. Develop one empirically supported therapeutic treatment plan for the client in the vignette. Please make sure you summarize the empirical evidence with appropriate citations to support your treatment choice(s) in working with your client. Be sure to discuss the effectiveness and limitations in working with this particular client, including this client’s background, using the above treatment plans.

You can start this answer now. You will need to discuss in detail a treatment approach. The treatment approach should correspond to the theoretical orientation that you selected for the question above (theory to describe the behavior). Many students select Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) as there is a wealth of empirical evidence for the effectiveness of this approach. You should be able to describe in detail what CBT is, the underlying assumptions of the treatment approach and therapeutic change as well as specific techniques used in the therapy. Once you have the vignette and know the diagnosis, you will need to find research to support the use of this approach with that diagnosis.

• Identify the name of the theory – this should relate back to the theoretical case conceptualization

• Discuss the types of interventions recommended by the approach

• Discuss your rationale for the interventions

• Identify short- and long-term goals.

• Discuss the ways in which effectiveness will be assessed

• Discuss the anticipated effectiveness and limitations of the approach for this particular client

• Summarize the empirical support for the approach with appropriate citations (not just your own opinion)

Interpersonal Effectiveness

The next question addresses diversity issues.

A. What diversity factors, cultural considerations, or other demographic variables pertaining to this client would you take into account in rendering diagnoses, choosing assessment measures, forming case conceptualizations, and designing the treatment plan? Be sure to discuss cultural/diversity factors that could apply even if they are not explicitly mentioned in the vignette.

You want to consider diversity broadly and include ethnicity and race, as well as gender, age, marital status, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, etc. You can start to assemble resources on diversity issues and assessment and treatment with regard to forensic settings.

The next question does not require a direct response but rather is an assessment of your writing and correct use of APA format. You really need to use the APA Publication Manual for correct APA format for the references. Also, you should use a grammar checker and spell checker for all your work.
