Assignment 2: Bio-pyscho-social-spiritual Assessment
For this assignment, you will review a video depicting an interview with a client. This will be the basis for a bio-psycho-social-spiritual assessment, including preliminary treatment goals, evaluation methods, and an intervention plan. You must also include a brief summation of at least three references from the professional literature that are relevant to and supportive of the conclusions you put forth in your assessment. A concluding analysis section should indicate areas where further information is needed, areas of difference that may come into play in the case, or other issues you would want to remain aware of if you were responsible for this case.
The intent of this assignment is to mirror as closely as possible what might be expected of you in writing an assessment following a session with a client. You may take hand-written notes during the video; however, you may not record the video in any way, and you may not use your computer during the viewing. You may not consult with fellow students in the preparation of this assignment. You will be graded on the accuracy and clarity of your assessment, but you have a good deal of latitude in crafting goals as long as they are consistent with the assessment findings and are supported by material from the course and the practice literature.
Your paper should be approximately ten pages in length, exclusive of cover page and bibliography. Use 1 margins and 12-point Times New Roman type.
Course readings and handouts provide guidance for preparing a bio-psycho-social-spiritual assessment, but for this paper, your assessment should be organized under the following headings:
1. Demographic information, presenting problem, and mental status
2. Current and previous agency contacts
3. Medical, psychiatric, and substance use history and data
4. Brief history of the client, including salient relationships with significant others
5. Summary of the current situation, including mitigating interpersonal, and environmental factors and client strengths
6. Ethical dilemmas presented in the assessment
7. Analysis of the problem-for-work and relevant factors
8. Preliminary treatment plan: goals, objectives, and interventions
9. Develop mutually agreed-on intervention goals and objectives
10. Case reflections
