Hypothetical client addictions

hypothetical client.

1. Create
   a hypothetical client, include the client’s name, age, marital status,
   occupation, and relevant family information (such as children or involved
   siblings or parents). This should
   be 2–3 paragraphs.
2. Presenting
   problem: What is the reason for the client receiving your services? Be
   specific about the problem, but do not add many extra details by “telling
   the client’s story.” This should be a 2–3 paragraph description about the
   problem as the client perceives it.

What are three of the client’s main intervention/treatment
goals? These should be specific and measurable. Describe the outcome the client wants to
achieve. (1–2 pages)

3.Relevant
theoretical constructs: Which theory is relevant to your client’s case?
Describe the relevant points of the theory and if applicable, which stage(s)
are present. (1–2 pages) For example, clearly describe the main points of the
theory and relevant stage(s). Freud’s Psychoanalytic Theory may apply to a
client using defense mechanisms when dealing with addiction issues. Give a general description of the theory and
then discuss the relevant defense mechanisms.

1. Intervention
   methods: Synthesize the theoretical model you chose above to explain the
   intervention methods you will utilize to help you client meet the goals.
   Remember that interventions should be based on documented evidence in your
   concentration, meaning that you should support your ideas with academic
   materials to show how they are appropriate. (1–2 pages)
2. What cultural issues will you need to
   consider when working with your client? Culture can refer to age, gender,
   race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation,
   disability, language, and socioeconomic status. (1 page)
3. Use of
   technology: Explain how you could use contemporary technology in your work
   with this client. For example
   • store
     and organize records
   • maintain
     confidentiality, such as preventing access to client files
   • screen
     for symptoms of psychological disorders
   • conduct
     therapy and meetings in non-traditional settings, such as through email
     or videoconferencing

Be sure to address the advantages and disadvantages of using
technology for the purpose(s) you choose. (1/2–1 page)
