This is the progress note page, the only thing making notes on in for this recording this the getting to know you introduction. Not treatment or diagnose and not planning only written about worker meeting client for the first time. I put some question in the box below to help guide . Answer all question and the Recording of Interview: section must be 2 or more pages written in this section below.

Introduction:

It was my student team or us who participated in the session. The client is coming into the office for support and knowledge of how to get out of the slump he feels he is in. He wants his life back get up and get a job and move out his parents home

Client info

50 year old caucasian man, who has lived at home with his parents for the last 10 years. He has been given diagnoses of Psychotic Disorder, NOS, Schizoaffective Disorder and Major Depression. He is sometimes hears background chatter that has been explained to him as auditory hallucinations by his providers. These symptoms can be very distracting and disturbing, he reports spending a lot of time trying to separate these hallucinations from reality. He knows how to manage his recovery with therapeutic support and life activities, but he can’t seem to get back to it living at his parents house. He would like to see if a new medication regime would help him. When he has lived on his own, He has had periods of greater and lesser symptom interference; he has some idea of what contributes to the changes. When his symptoms are at their worst, he becomes depressed and neglects his self-care, eating poorly or neglects to eat regularly, ignores his bills, and bathes less. He’s primary concern is his boredom and not getting along with his dad. He would like to get a job and move out of his parent’s home. He is feeling uncertain about how to accomplish his goals.

Student Learning Goals:

Identify 1-2 learning goals for the session, for example, explore affect, ask open-ended questions, intervene using a cognitive behavioral approach, etc.

Student – Client Interaction Dialogue

Self-Reflection/

Rationale for Intervention

Supervisor’s Observations

(Beginning students should record all interactions, verbal and non-verbal. As the first year progresses students will become more selective and develop better recall of the interview and key interactions and use of words. By the end of the first year and in second year, the recordings should take less time and will focus on learning goals like diagnostic assessments, sitting with or pursuing affect, beginnings or endings, listening skills, etc.)

(Worker shares their affective and cognitive reflections about the client, the interview, and worker’s use of self. This is a place to critique one’s work and progress in mastering interviewing skills, planned interventions, self-awareness of counter-transference feelings, reflections about areas of diversity- i.e. race/ethnicity, class, religion/spirituality, sexual orientation, etc.) , and integration of theory with observations.

(Rationale for intervention: includes application of theory, reasons for choosing a particular intervention, use of evidence informed practice.)
