What happens during an intake? a. The therapist gathers specific information to address the client's immediate needs such as the presenting problem, the client's support system, and insurance status. The therapist informs the client about confidentiality, fees, and what to expect in a therapy session. b. The therapist guides what happens in the therapy session and designs a detailed approach to resolving each member's presenting problem. c. The therapist meets with a couple to help them see how their individual backgrounds, beliefs, and actions are affecting their relationship. d. The therapist examines and discusses with the family the boundaries and structure of the family: For example, who makes the rules, who sleeps in the bed with whom, and how decisions are made.
Your textbook addresses several types of counseling or theoretical frameworks (e.g., decisional counseling, person-centered counseling, logotherapy, etc.). Review the case study "Working with Family Values, Cultural Issues, and Depression" below (also located in your textbook): Mrs. M emigrated from India with her husband 20 years ago. They have three grown children. Mrs. M was referred for services by her primary care physician, who was worried about her depression and stress, caused primarily because her mother in India had just been turned down for a second green card and visa. Mrs. M's mother had lived with them when the children were teenagers and had returned to India without renewing her green card. Mrs. M was alternately angry with her mother over her negligence and worried about how she could take care of her now. Now, select a counseling or theoretical framework and briefly describe how you would apply the selected framework to the case study. Discuss any ethical or legal principles that could impact your approach to this case. In your responses to your peers' posts, address how your differing frameworks impact your approach to the case study. How are your approaches different or similar?

Texts: 1. According to a recent summary of research (and as predicted by the "Dodo Bird Verdict"), the SMALLEST contributor to the variance in psychotherapy outcome was attributed to: - Empathy - Goal Consensus - Therapeutic Alliance - Treatment Method or Model 2. All of the following are true of the concept of affect regulation EXCEPT: - Other people cannot help us regulate affect; it is something we do solely inside the self. - It is a powerful common ground among many approaches to psychotherapy. - Refers to the ability to keep affective arousal within tolerable limits. - Problems of affect regulation are common to many mental health disorders. 3. All of the following are true about DSM EXCEPT: - DSM has been largely non-controversial and reflects a notably collegial and harmonious working together of different disciplines (psychiatry, psychology, social work, and counseling). - DSM reflects more of a categorical than a dimensional approach, though the newest version is adding more dimensional elements. - DSM-III represented a major turning point in which we saw a focus on diagnostic reliability, on becoming more useful to research, and on developing an atheoretical system that clinicians of different orientations could use in common. - The current revision of the manual is DSM-5-TR, published in March of 2022, updating DSM-5 which was published in 2013. 4. All of the following are TRUE of the DSM Cultural Formulation Interview EXCEPT: - It is a semi-structured interview which may be used in part or in whole. - It assesses cultural factors that may affect the client's coping and help-seeking. - It assesses the client's view of the problem within the context of their culture. - It provides information about how the client's problems are seen in the light of universal norms that apply across cultures.
