Case study

  1. Read the following files:
    1. Engage in the interactive media:
    1. Apply what you have learned about engagement, assessment, planning, and intervention (Workshops 3-6), as well as ethical practice, to complete the dialogue successfully.
    2. Take good notes about Johns needs, risks, strengths, resources, and goals, just as you would if you were conducting this interview in a real-world scenario.
  3. Read the follow-up files:
  4. Based on the prior interaction and all supporting documents, write a discharge plan for John. It should be between 200 and 300 words in length. Your discharge plan should ensure that Johns needs will be met as thoroughly as possibly once he leaves the treatment facility. Consider the following factors:
    1. Living arrangements
    2. Financial needs
    3. Transportation plans
    4. Vocational and/or educational plans
    5. Personal and professional support
    6. Cultural needs and resources
    7. Ongoing treatment needs and plans
    8. Medications and medical equipment needs
    9. Include any other factors you think relate to a discharge plan for this client, such as caring for his spiritual needs, if applicable.
  5. Imagine that one week prior to Johns release, Dr. Brimmer and you (the intern) meet with John to review his discharge plan and discuss termination as noted in Transition Planning Notes II. Dr. Brimmer has worked with John for some time, and you have now been involved on his case, so the termination discussion is an important step in saying goodbye to this client. In the same document you produced to write the discharge plan, write a brief, skilled, and empathetic termination dialogue that is ethical and supports Johns continuing progress as he transitions from the prison. It should be between 200 and 300 words in length. In italics or brackets within the dialogue, describe attending behaviors and nonverbal communication that you could use to support engagement. Include the following talking points:
    1. Clarification about the end of the professional relationship
    2. Summary of the clients accomplishments and strengths
    3. Summary of the clients ongoing needs
    4. Summary of the clients discharge plan
    5. Summary of the clients resources and support people
    6. Well wishes and any positive sentiment
