...Running head: HYPOTHETICAL WORKING AGREEMENT Hypothetical working agreement Libby McGrath University of Phoenix Communication skills from the Human Services Professional 322 Connie Giles April 29, 2013 Hypothetical working agreement Freydia, a 27 year old mother of two has been addicted to crack for 4 years resulting in her children being removed from her home be child protective services. They are currently living with her mother, and Freydia would like to regain custody of them. Since Freydia, is new to me I have to take the time to get a good assessment of her, does she really want to quit using? Does she really want her children back? How much is she willing to do to get her children back? The assessment is not something I can do just by listening to her, I need to watch closely and pick up on her non verbal gestures. By paying attention to both verbal and non verbal conversations as a clinician I can learn a lot about Freydia and evaluate her and what goals would be easiest for her to obtain at this time. After determining what goals works best for her we are now able to form a contract of sorts to go along with our goals prioritizing which might be more important than the next. After evaluating and assessing Freydia I have decided that making rehab a priority, would be the most important goal for Freydia to set, she would need to be sure to attend every meeting, and if she doesn’t think she can do that, she might have to become a resident in an inpatient...

...Hypothetical Working Agreement Cynthia Boland BSHS 322 December 24, 2012 Tracey Newman Hypothetical Working Agreement This paper is meant to focus on a hypothetical working agreement for one of the specified scenarios from our textbook. The working agreement should have four parts; Assessment, Goal setting, Contacting and Evaluation. This paper will state clearly the key elements and purpose of each of the four parts in the working agreement using this specific case scenario. The case that I chose to use from the text is the case of Thomas, a 20-year-old college sophomore who has dropped out of school. He has just been diagnosed with schizophrenia. His mother has brought him to the day center saying she hopes that “somehow he will be able to get back to college.” Assessment This is the stage when elaboration and exploration skills are used in assisting in assessing the story from the client. “Gathering and analyzing of information about a client is done at this stage in order to tackle the problem” (Murphy, B. C., & Dillon, C. (2011). It is also good for clinicians to do a structured assessment formally and reasonably to fulfill the purpose of diagnosis, plan treatment and carry out research on the best specialized services that are needed by the client. Assessment The purpose of an assessment is to get a vast amount of adequate information about the client. This can include basic information such as name, age, birthdate, address, and telephone number. It is...

...ANALYSIS PAPER: In the previous decade, the thought that talking about a culture definitely recommends an over the top level of boundedness, homogeneity, lucidness, and soundness has picked up extensive backing, and some cultural or social anthropologists have even called to give away the idea. It is contended here, that the unwelcome ingredients aren’t intrinsic in the idea yet connected with specific uses that have been less institutionalized than these pundits accept. The foundation of the disarray is the appropriation of scholarly schedules crosswise over people: while these schedules are never conclusively imparted, they are not necessarily circulated. Accordingly, "culture" need to be held as a helpful term for designating bunches of regular ideas, feelings, and practices that rise when individuals communicate constantly. Likewise, outside human sciences and the educated community the statement is picking up pervasiveness and progressively seen in a harshly anthropological manner. Holding the idea while illuminating that culture is not duplicated un-problematically, has its cutoff points in the exceptional and the widespread, and is not synonymous with ethnicity and personality will safeguard the shared opinion the idea has made inside the order. Besides, it will detach imparting anthropological plans to the overall population and hence testing mixed up hypothesis ‘‘cultural turn’’ in the humanities. The examination of the relationship between culture and distinct attitude...

...The Working Agreement Kathi Chambliss Course/322 August 1,2011 Connie Giles The working agreement has four parts, the assessment, goal setting, contacting, and evaluation. Not only will this paper explain each of these parts it will also apply them to a hypothetical situation known as Freydia. Even though Freydia is a 27, year that has been hooked on crack cocaine for 4 years, her children have been taken from her by Child Protective Services and placed in her mother’s custody, she is in a drug program and wants to get her children back. The purpose of the assessment is to answer some basic questions. Why was Freydia referred and why is she presented for help. In this case Freydia needs help with her drug addiction. This will also answer the “who” part of the question. Next one has to decide what information needs to be gathered from Freydia. How should this information be gathered and what methods would be used to gather the information. Where should the assessment take place, and when will the contract and the plan begin? The family is also assessed to determine how the unit as a whole functions. In the case of Freydia, knowing the family structures will be important because her two children will be placed in her mother’s care. There are many principles regarding a good assessment. First one should consider the relationship between the client and the clinician starts at the first meeting however things change as the relationship continues. Next the clinician...
