Hello students, the question says that christopher has been released from inpatient treatment and is following up with you for outpatient treatment.

Identify in order of importance the problems that need to be addressed in treatment or these problems that may be present but not need to be addressed immediately but rather follow up on after christopher has received treatment for a certain amount of time to determine if the problem still exists.
00:31
Why does each of the problems you identify need to be addressed? what theoretical orientation would you use with christopher and why? the first step would be to identify the problems without specific information about christopher's condition.

However, based on the reference to ptsd, which is post -traumatic stress disorder, we can assume that he may be dealing with symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmare, severe anxiety, uncontrollable thoughts about the event.

And he may also be experiencing depression, substance abuse or other mental health issues.
02:09
After identifying the problem, the next step would be to the order of importance for those problems.
02:20
The order of importance would typically be determined by the severity and impact of the symptom on christopher's daily life.

Generally, the first priority would be to address any immediate safety concerns such as suicidal ideation or self -harm.

Next, the symptoms causing significant distress or impairment such as severe anxiety or flashbacks would be addressed.
03:27
Other issues like mild depression or social withdrawal might be addressed later in.
