However, regardless of its format, Fritscher (2011) states that the treatment plan should always be subject to change as the case progresses.

Recently, there was a shooting at your school that involved many students. Classrooms were locked down for three hours. A few days ago, a teacher at your school said she saw in the crisis handbook that following a crisis, teachers should look for student behavior that is out of the ordinary as a way of identifying students who may need to see the school counselor. The student she is concerned about is a seventh grade (13 year old) Asian male named Tai. She said that he seems to be more withdrawn since the shootings and believes one of the students who were shot was a friend of his. Tai is new to the school this year and participates in the free lunch plan. Case Conceptualization and Needs Assessment Having a comprehensive crisis management plan in place allows members of the school staff and community to be aware of policy and procedures related to identifying students who may be in crisis.

...Treatment plans for mood disorders are much alike the treatment plans for anxiety disorders. There are two main paths that can be taken, either with prescription medication or the therapeutic paths. There are three types of prescription medicines when it comes to mood disorders: mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, and antidepressants. The first step is for the doctor to determine the severity of the disorder. That will determine which medicine and the dosage. While this is done with all prescriptions, it is essential and different with mood disorders due to the fact that it is easy for one factor to upset the whole person. Also, this helps with determining which of the three types of medication to use. Thankfully research has expanded and “The...

The family consisted of a father, a mother, 2 girls and 1 boy. David, the father, is mid to late 60 year old Caucasian male. He is tall with square shoulders wearing glasses. He metacommunication Presenting Problem History of Problem- BRIEF Family History Assessment Summary: Another important quality of the co-research position is that of valuing emotional experiences and reflections. Our understanding of the preceding conversation is that in the state of being oppressed by violence, a person is defined by the violence. The concept of choice in that state is a mirage; a woman would not choose violence, but inside of a war zone there is no violence free territory. If the person and the context of violence are separated (deconstructed through externalization) the person's preferred story of their lives outside the "war zone" context can become visible. This distinction became available in the training conversation due to the process of allowing for correction and respecting the trainees feelings of being emotionally connected or disconnected to the unique accounts of those persons oppressed by the problem. Doherty (1991) has described negotiating meanings versus dictating a theme (p. 134). From our reflections about the interviewing process, we have...

...8 Week Treatment Plan using Expressive Group Therapy working with children who struggle with insecure attachment. What does insecure attachment look like? Attachment can be defined as “an emotional tie with another person, shown in young children by seeking closeness to the caregiver and showing distress on separation” (Myers, 1998). Early bonding experiences have a significant impact on the developing child and achieving a positive bond is essential to the child’s overall well being later in life. The relationship formed between caregiver and child acts as a template for all subsequent relationships. There are four different patterns of response that are considered to be indicative of child attachment to an adult caregiver; secure, insecure-avoidant, insecure-resistant/ambivalent or disorganized /disoriented. Theorist such as John Bowlby, Mary Ainsworth and Erik Erikson proposed that during the 1st year of life a working model is forged based on the caregiver/child relationship and lays the groundwork for future interactions. If the child is unable to form a secure attachment to his or her caregiver it can result in problems such as, relating to people, problems accepting care, problems with transitions, lack of conscience, emotional immaturity, and problems with trust and self-esteem. Children who have been severely maltreated, abandoned, raised in orphanages or placed in multiple foster homes exhibit...

...In today’s economy, keeping the morale of the sales force in a high gear is vital if a company is to achieve profitability. One of the factors that boost the morale and productivity of the sales force is a reward program that recognizes and addresses their needs. It is in the company`s best interest to keep the sales force motivated for higher sales revenue and elevated levels of financial growth. To assist in understanding the impact and role played by reward programs, General Motor`s compensation plan will be used as a guide in creating an effective workforce compensation program (Hay Group., 2001). An effective compensation program needs to incorporate the aspect of fairness .This means recognizing each employee`s worth and value contribution to the ultimate success of the company. The reward program needs to be impartial to all employees involved so that it can gain unfailing support from every member of the sales team. An unfair program will create conflict and division amongst employees and cause resentment and discontent amongst those who feel sidelined by the program (Clow & Baack, 2012). It will hinder the smooth running of operations as employees get involved in a battle to counter each other’s efforts thus leading to reduced levels of productivity. The vision and mission of the company should also be considered when hatching a reward program. It is only by aligning it to the core values of the company that it will attain sustainability. The rewards program will be...

...mother would come back to her life without treatment at the hospital. After the treatment by doctors and nurses, they brought her fragile life back into the world. Now we are together again. My mother’s story about the treatment that magically healed her at hospital inspired me to be a nurse. I also understood that I could help the people who need treatment and be of assistance even though I do not know them personally. So, I went to the nursing school. Now, I am working as a RN at Sibley Hospital in the Medical/Surgical unit. But, it is my wish to be a unit manager in the future; just an Associate Degree RN did not satisfy me. I have to work my way up. So, I made it my goal to get a higher education and make plans accordingly to improve my personal and professional qualities. Without a professional goal we cannot improve our performance at work. “It is important to identify a number of professional development opportunities and select the ones that match interests and needs” (Besnoy, 2007, p. 47). My professional goal is to become a Unit Manager. I have to start at the bottom though and work my way higher and higher. I make plan to shift my job from Medical/Surgical unit to ICU. That will help me to learn how to deal and treat for more critical patients. Staying at the bedside of patients and assessing them provides information about patient’s condition. This gives us a guide for what treatment(s) to give them. If they get their treatment(s) on time then they can progress faster...
