Provide a case conceptualization and a treatment plan from two different theoretical approaches (do not choose integrative approach)

/in /by

Berman, P. S. (2015). Case conceptualization and treatment planning: Integrating theory with clinical practice (3rd ed.). Thousand Oaks, CA, US: Sage Publications, Inc.

Choose two different theoretical approaches, and provide a case conceptualization and a treatment plan from two different theoretical approaches (do not choose integrative approach), separately for the case at the end of this document. There are chapters in the book with examples from different theoretical approaches.

The content of the conceptualization of the same case will differ according to the various theories depending on the aspect of human experience that each theory emphasizes.

The case conceptualization should include an explanation of the client’s presenting problems and diagnosis in the context of the theoretical framework.

A case conceptualization and treatment plan for a client you evaluate is usually quite comprehensive.  For this exercise, since you are limited by the information I provided, I want you focus on certain components. What I want to be able to assess is your knowledge of the two theoretical frameworks you choose, your ability to analyze the case from those perspectives and your ability to develop a treatment plan based on your case conceptualization based on the theoretical models you choose.

Components of a case formulation for this assignment:

Identifying information

Presenting problem

Hypotheses/premise- Brief statement of your understanding of the problem from the theoretical perspective you chose. How is the problem explained from the theory’s perspective? This statement can include the diagnosis of the client.

Background- This is a detailed case analysis that supports the previous statement. It explains the history and background of the client as well as current situation. It includes the client’s strengths and weaknesses from the perspective of the theoretical framework.

  • How do you explain or understand the client’s symptoms, personality characteristics, cognitions, feelings, and behaviors based on the particular theory? How does the theory explain how the problem developed and is maintained? How is it that this person came to have these particular problems? Where are these problems stemming from?
  • Depending on the theory you chose, you may also include: What are this person’s strengths?

Treatment plan

Based on the theoretical framework you chose, develop a treatment plan describing the goals of treatment and long and short term goals. From the theoretical perspectives you chose, state:

  • The goals for treatment (be specific/express in operational terms).
  • The interventions you would recommend based on the theory (be specific in terms of what you would do, what types of questions would you ask the client, what techniques you would use to address the problems identified). The treatment recommendations should follow the theory’s beliefs about what makes people change. Explain why you would recommend these particular interventions. You can give some examples of what you think the dialogue between you and this client would look like.
  • Your expectations of the client’s responses to the treatment would be.

The paper should probably be 8 to 12 pages long (longer, if you are including a lot of examples of dialogue between therapist and client).

Research and provide 2–3 case briefs on specific case law related to the entrapment defense as it may or may not apply in the case scenario.

/in /by

While working an undercover detail in a neighborhood known for drug activity, you notice a vehicle stopped at the intersection waiting for the light to change. The man in the vehicle makes eye contact with you. You approach his vehicle and begin carrying on a conversation with him. You ask him if he needs anything, and he responds by asking you, “What do you have?” You ask him what he is looking for, and he tells you he is looking to score. You show him a small bag containing a white powdery substance; he asks how much, and you respond, “20 dollars.” He hands you a $20 bill, and you give him the bag and tip your hat to signal that the transaction was completed. At this time, the man drives off and is stopped a block away by a marked unit. The individual is placed under arrest for drug possession and purchasing drugs, and he is taken to jail.
The individual is charged with possession of a controlled substance. At his trial, he claimed that he was a victim of entrapment by the police. He was found guilty and sentenced to serve 5 years in jail and given credit for the 3 months he already had served in jail.

M4 A2 Draft Project Plan – Individual Track (due week 11)

Develop the Project Plan

Note: the project plan is NOT the project schedule!)

Expectations

  • Include the necessary elements (overview, objectives, general approach, contractual aspects, schedules, resources, personnel, evaluation methods, potential problems)
  • The General Approach to executing the project; if your company employs a formal project management methodology, what components will you include and which will you exclude… and why? if your company employs a formal project life cycle, what components will you include and which will you exclude… and why?
  • Identify your sponsor and stakeholders, explaining when and how you will communicate with them
  • Identify the high-level scope of the project and what problems and challenges need to be addressed as part of the project
  • Explain what quality means in the context of this project and how you will ensure that quality
  • Discuss the draft of the resources you will need to complete the project, remembering that resources are not just people—they can be equipment, office space, special software packages, etc.
  • Discuss how you plan to manage issues and requested changes to the project’s scope
  • If your project will need to engage vendors, explain your process for vendor selection and management
  • The Plan for Logistic Support and Administration
  • Discuss any training requirements
  • Based on Past Experience and documented ‘Lessons Learned’, what problems do you foresee arising and how do you plan to deal with them if they do arise?

Project Sub-Plans

In many cases a project plan includes a number of sub-plans that address key components of project activity. For your project, you’ll need to draft two sub-plans and include them as appendixes:

Risk Plan

The purpose of the risk plan is to identify the key risk that can threaten your project and present your approach to addressing these risks. For this assignment you should identify 5-10 risks and include the following for each:

  • what the risk is
  • how likely it is to occur
  • what would be the severity of consequences if it did occur
  • how the project team will monitor for the risk
  • the mitigation plan and its cost if the risk were to become a reality

Communication Plan

The project communication sub-plan is a description of the routine and emergency communication procedures that will be used during the project. You should include the type and frequency of all the following that apply:

  • full project team meetings
  • project technical team meetings with team leads
  • status checks
  • updates of project documentation
  • updates to management and/or executives
  • reports from project technical leads to the project manager

Also include how emergencies are to be communicated both up and down the project hierarchy.

Project Budget

Include as an appendix your project budget. The budget should be an Excel spreadsheet, where you will document all of the costs associated with your project – people costs, vendor costs, costs of supplies, etc, as well as 25% of the total mitigation costs of your risks which should be noted as a “contingency fund” Provide some detail as to how you came up with your figures, but for the purposes of this course, not too much detail. One page should suffice unless you feel you need more space. Be clear that a four-line budget encompassing the items mentioned above in this paragraph is NOT sufficient.

Reference your project budget as an appendix, but submit it as a separate Excel spreadsheet
