The first contrasting marker between NV and V clients is that NV are not necessarily seeking services and therefore these clients’ participation is often mandated through a referential basis (Bogo, 2006). The mandated nature of the therapy can cause NV clients to feel bewildered or coerced into the relationship, which ultimately affects the efficacy of the therapy (Ivanoff, Blythe & Tripodi, 1994; Smith, 2011; Turney, 2012 & Yatchmenoff, 2005). Second, depending on the context of the mandate the client may present with intrapersonal psychological underpinnings inhibiting their ability to wilfully participate in the interpersonal dynamics of the services offered by the worker (Briere, 1992 & Steel et al., 2004). To elaborate, consider working with a child that has been sexually abused by her caregivers but does not view the activities as abuse and is thereby in disarray or resistant to the introduction of any sort of therapy. It is difficult to convince any individual to accept aid if they do not believe it is warranted (Gil, 1988 and Paolucci, Genuis & Violato, 2001).

This paper will reflect an assessment for a client based on the bio-psycho-social-spiritual model. This paper will also assess presenting problem this client has faced and how these problems affect the client’s system’s functioning.

Even though she was innocent she was still the victim. She was raped in the chapter red clowns. In the quote, the author says in her book,¨Sally Sally a hundred times. Why didn't you hear me when I called? Why didn't you tell them to leave me alone? The one who grabbed me by the arm, he wouldn't let me go. He said I love you, Spanish girl, I love you, and pressed his sour mouth to mine.”(Red Clowns) It tells about what happened and all but this wasn't her fault. This

In clinical setting, the case formulation guides a therapist how to structure the sessions and by prioritising the client’s core problems, give rise to a plan and choice of intervention. Case formulation is an element of an empirical hypothesis testing approach to clinical work and has three main elements which are assessment, formulation and intervention. The process of case formulation starts with an unstructured ‘problem list’ (Persons, 1989), then proceeds to look for common themes which could suggest underlying beliefs, schemas and early life experiences. This supports CBT in standing up against criticisms made by psychodynamic theorists which states that CBT deals only with symptom reduction, having no underlying rationale (Persons et al., 1996).

Constructing a treatment and service plan for a client involves various components. Prior to starting a treatment plan the professional should carry out a client evaluation. The evaluation should determine the basis of the difficulty or issues and assess the back ground of the client. After the completion of the evaluation, a professional can start constructing an agreement to fulfill the needs of the client. The treatment plan should include goals that relate to the difficulties and issues the client is experiencing, this assessment will discuss the components of Mr. McCunes personalized treatment program.

The first step will be to understand why the word “client” which was being used instead of “patient” since the two words represents someone seeking medical/mental help. The word “patient” suggests that the therapist puts him/herself in the position of making decision for the person whom they viewed as impaired or damaged. Psychotherapist who uses the word has to diagnose a disorder in order to treat the patient. Client on the other hand, was viewed as more humanistic and gives the client autonomy over what is best for them. A client seeking therapy will not be curing an illness but seeking new direction in life (Mclaughlin, 2008).

The practice that assist a therapist in determining a client diagnosis and the proper treatment plan that would resolve the issue surrounding the clinet’s diagnosis is Case Conceptualization and Treatment Planning. The clinet’s treatment plan must be appropriate and relational and this will alow any type of medication and adaptions to be adjusted if needed so that modifications and adaptations can be adjusted as needed (Altman, Briggs, Frankel, Gensler, and Pantone, 2002). The ultimate goal of case conceptualization and treatment planning is to discover complete findings in relation to the client. One approach is Existential Therapy. The human

Mental disorders are not harmful, they are harmful dysfunctions” (p. 131). When a client receives a diagnosis, it does not mean that client will have that diagnosis for the rest of their life. There is a misconception that when a client is diagnosed with a mental disorder, it becomes their identity. There are sufficient treatments, whether therapeutic or medicinal, that can assist the client overcome their disorder (Nash, 22). The most important thing a client can do is to separate themselves from their diagnosis.

Transference and countertransference can made the counseling process challenging and difficult for both clients and counselors. It could damage the trust and relationship between counselors and clients. Affect the perception as the same time could affect the behavior of both. Moreover, some clients might change their behaviors towards the counselor, some examples will be dressing like the counselor, seek answers instead of discovering their own answers, the clients might feel powerless and indecisive affecting how the counselor might feel and react toward their clients. In addition, the counselors might affect their clients successful outcomes in treatment when a counselor might had some traumatic issues that might project into their clients.

It is important when working with clients that consideration is given to the methods and approaches used with regards to specific client’s needs and personality as well as consideration regarding presenting issues.

Consideration will be given from both a psychodynamic approach and CBT approach of how a therapist might work with Jane. The main similarities and differences of both the psychodynamic and CBT approaches will be analyzed. This will lead into an evaluation of which is the most appropriate approach in working with Jane by
