Case #2 THE CASE TO BE USED FOR THE TASK
The only time I lose it is when other people get on me when they think I’ve done something wrong. That teacher deserved to hear it from me, and I’m glad I threw my book at him. He gave me an “F” last semester, and he’s always been after me ever since. He told me that I needed to go to class even though I told him I was getting something from my locker. He is the one who pushed it with me. The teachers at school are on me about everything, just like my stupid mom. My little brother hates it when I go off on mom and we fight, but she’s always all over me. I don’t need to be in counseling – everyone just needs to leave me alone.

Formatting and font selection are up to you; please make it professional and legible. Please submit this treatment plan in PDF format.
Your Treatment Plans should include:
• Reflect on your own (I) personal reaction (as if you are the therapist) to the client challenges and presenting problems (This is NOT a case summary.)
• Describe your client’s (C) contextual assessment
• Describe your client’s (A) assessment and diagnosis
• Describe your client’s (N) necessary level of care
• Describe your client’s (S) strengths, capacities, and resources (at the individual, family, and community levels)
• List what (T) treatment approach seems most appropriate
• Outline three (A) aims/goals with objectives with the corresponding (R) research-based interventions.
• List any additional (T) therapeutic support services for your client
• Two considerations worth noting: (1) make sure your (A) aims/objectives are specific, measurable, attainable, results-oriented, and timely; and (2) make sure your (T) treatment approach aligns with the (A) aims/objectives and the (R) research-based interventions.
