Objective 3: Demonstrate the interview, assessment, diagnostic, and treatment plan process.
A clinician takes many steps to determine what is best for a client who comes to him or her for help. Clinicians must interview, assess and refer, diagnose, and then create a treatment plan for clients. The treatment plan becomes the road map for the client and clinician to follow to reach the agreed upon goals. Having the data gathered helps show the rationale behind the developed plan, and the plan itself will then be used throughout treatment, amended throughout the process as needed.
Learning Activity #4: Treatment Plan
