Diagnosis: NOT an explanation, just the DSM-IV-TR code and title

Objectives of Treatment: Goals (social, relational, occupational, etc. In short form)

Assessments as Needed: Initial assessments needed?

Clinicians Characteristics Viewed as Therapeutic: In many cases, the effectiveness of the rehabilitation strategy may be only
as good as the relationship between the client and the counselor. What are (at least) TWO characteristics necessary in a therapist
treating THIS PATIENT SPECIFICALLY.

Location of Treatment: In a treatment facility? A therapist’s office? Outdoors? Where should your client be treated?

Interventions to Be Used: Specific to your client’s preferences ex. a session with an agoraphobic might involve walking into the
street with them. (Other ex. role-playing, hypnosis, etc.)

Emphasis of Treatment: Used with goals, what will the focus be? Ex. If the goal is to keep a job, then the emphasis of treatment
might be interpersonal skills and occupational skills.

Nature of the Treatment: If the issue is with a married client, will you use couples therapy as well, or will you lead them through
the grief process involving a divorce?

Timing: How often will they meet with their therapist? For what time period (6months, a year, etc.)?

Medications needed: If none, write N/A.

Adjunct services: Will they also need medical treatment, occupational therapy or another service? If none, write N/A.

Prognosis: In this particular case, do you think treatment will be effective? How would you define success/recovery with this
particular client?

*****Remember, this portion of the paper should be limited in nature – just an overview of your plan for the
