Study Notes
Goal Statements
- SMART goals are used to highlight the client's perspective. "I understand that you would like to get a job, gain custody of your children, and find a place to live. Which one would you like to work on first?" is an example.
- Goals must be defined explicitly.
- Determine feasibility and discuss potential benefits and barriers.
- Rank goals according to client priorities.
- Goals relate to desired outcomes and are consistent with agency functions (e.g., reduce number of CPS reports).
- Goals should reflect client commitment, values, culture, resources, and strengths, and link to long-term desired outcomes.
Goal Construction Acronym
- Goals are constructed using the acronym SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-limited.
Treatment Planning
- Treatment planning is based on assessment findings.
- Goals, strategies, and tasks are explicitly agreed upon between the social worker (SW) and the client, focusing on target areas for change.
- Goals are client-driven, mutually agreed upon, and measurable.
Motivational Interviewing
- Motivational interviewing uses OARS: Open-ended questions, Affirmations, Reflective listening, and Summarizing.
- Understanding the stages of change (Prochaska et al.) is important.
- Pre-contemplation: not yet acknowledging a problem.
- Contemplation: Acknowledging a problem but not yet ready to change.
Person-in-Environment Perspective
- This perspective examines how the environment affects the person and vice versa.
- Understand the reciprocal relationship between the person and their surroundings.
Empathy and Additive Empathy
- Empathy involves translating client feelings into words, while additive empathy involves going beyond expressed feelings to help clients gain self-awareness.
Forms of Confrontation
- Self-confrontation: When a person reflects on their own actions and behavior. This requires self-awareness.
- Assertive confrontation: When a danger is imminent, and professional positive intent must be conveyed. Example: "I'm concerned because you want to (desired outcome), but your (action) might result in (negative outcome)." This conveys professional concern, and avoids directly criticizing or berating the client.
Change Models
- Evidence-based and evidence-informed practice involves integrating practitioner expertise with the best evidence from systemic research and evaluation.
- Solution-focused therapy focuses on positive aspects and shifting perspective to a more problem-solving approach.
Task-Centered Interventions
- Task-centered interventions empower clients to solve their own problems by focusing on specific tasks with time limits.
- Identify problems, prioritize tasks, create discrete steps, and break down goals into smaller actionable tasks.
- Using the "miracle question" can help clients visualize a future without the problem to aid in problem-solving.
