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.
