Care Presentation and Treatment Paper

In this final paper, students will present a case of a hypothetical adult client who is suffering from a valid DSM-IV-TR mental disorder.  Cases may be real,

hypothetical, or a combination of the two. (Cases can be selected from films, tv shows, or books.)  If real cases are used, students must take care to disguise any and

all identifying information.
In the second half of this paper,  paper will consist of providing a diagnosis and formulating a mock treatment plan for this client.  This treatment plan should be

supported by recent empirical studies (cite 3 sources supporting treatment decisions).
Papers will include the following sections:
Background history
Identifying Information (hypothetical only)
Reason for Referral
Presenting Problems

DSM-IV-TR Diagnosis
Include primary symptoms, 5-axis diagnosis, and rationale for diagnosis

Treatment Plan
Goals (long term)
Objectives (describes what will be accomplished in order to meet longer term goals)
Methods or Interventions
Estimated Length of Treatment
Outcome Measures (what measures you will use to assess client progress/outcome)

Self-Critique – This will include a brief paragraph in which the student discusses his or her own strengths and weaknesses in regard to treating the client that was

presented in this paper.  What skills do you possess that would help you be effective in treating such a client?  What challenges might you face in treating this

client?  What types of ethical issues might you need to be concerned about with such a case? (Please note that first person may be used in this section, but the tone

must still remain professional.).
