Purpose
The purpose of this assessment task is to apply strengths-based assessment and evidence informed intervention strategies for scenario clients who present with substance use issues.
What Will I Need to Know and Do?
To complete this task, students will need consider the interactions between two scenario clients and their context and apply the 5P Model for each of the two scenario clients using the template on the following page. Each of the two scenario clients are explored in two parts
Part A – (400 word maximum for each client using paragraphs)
- Explore and explain the interactions between the addictive behaviours and the social context of the scenario client, integrating relevant academic literature.
Part B – Using the 5P Model (can use bullet points)
- Apply specific assessment skills to create a 5P case conceptualisation for each client
- Based upon the 5P model, develop a therapeutic plan for working effectively with each client. Identify and analyse relevant treatment approaches, demonstrating an ability to incorporate key learning from the unit content.
Submission:
- Student submits reflective journal (using a MS Word document) to the online class space assessment dropbox (Turnitin).
Addictive Behaviours Scenario Application Assessment 5P Model
Scenario Client Name:
Part A (400 word maximum for each client using paragraphs): Explore and explain the interactions between the addictive behaviours and the social context of the scenario client, integrating relevant academic literature.
Part B 5P Model (can use bullet points, if any details are unknown write N/A)
- Client Name:
- Contact Details:
- Age:
- Employment status
- Relationship status:
- Reason for referral: (ie self-referred)
Presenting Problems
- Drug Use and Risk Assessment: E.g. any polydrug use and how smoking fits into lifestyle. Any risk of harm to self or others?
- Motivation to Change: What is the client’s readiness for change? Discuss in relation to the Transtheoretical Model (Prochaska & DiClemente, 1982; 1986)
Predisposing Factors
- E.g. early life factors, attachment, environment, peers, mental or physical health disorders
Precipitating Factors
- E.g. Events that may have contributed to the onset of the individual’s addiction or current difficulties
Perpetuating Factors
- E.g. the addictive properties of the drug, issues with impulsivity, situational factors such as friends or family members who smoke, identified factors contributing to past relapses, the function that the addiction may be serving, unhelpful thoughts etc. Explain how each factor may be perpetuating the addictive cycle.
Protective Factors
- Friends or family members who are supportive of them making changes, personal strengths, employment, self-care, previous successes.
Client Goals in Therapy
- If the client has stated goal(s). If not, what might be some goals the client may wish to work towards?
Case formulation
- An overview of how you would plan to work with the client based on your 5 P case conceptualisation. Support your therapeutic plan with relevant academic literature related to unit content. Things you may need to consider include: any additional screening that you would need to do, addressing safety concerns, specific interventions based on the client’s readiness to change and social context, justification for choice of treatment, how you would demonstrate strengths-based principles.
Videos
Watch the TWO clips below to use as a case study, and attempt to draw some conclusions using the 5Ps model to form a general picture. Be warned, these are real people talking in graphic detail about some traumatising events in their lives. How would you approach working with your chosen ‘client’ and how would you manage your response to their stories?
