Treatment Plan

Problems

1. From Step 2 of your inverted pyramid (IPM) (the CP-CC assignment), write out your problems behaviorally by order of problem (1. GAD – anxiety, etc, etc. 2. Major depressive disorder – sadness, etc). See the CP-TP example of Penny.

2. You may have more than 1 problem to write out. For example, if you used the Descriptive-Diagnostic Approach (p. 91) with major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and Z62.820 parent-child relational problem then write out these three problems (1, 2, 3).

Goals for Change

1. First problem here

· Write up specific, measurable (e.g., reduce, eliminate, etc) outcome goals.

2. Second problem here

· Write up the next set of specific, measurable outcome goals for this problem.

Therapeutic Interventions

Offer your theory here and estimate treatment length based on the severity of the problems. For example, minor depression may be resolving in 5 to 10 weeks but personality disorder in 5 to 10 years. If the client was depressed and had a personality disorder you would treat the depression first and then the personality disorder. Also, within each problem you would tier the approach, e.g., you would not attempt to do cognitive restructuring without first offering education on the cognitive model, identifying the problematic situation, and conditional assumptions. Offer citations here that are used to support the interventions used (e.g., Jones, and Jones, 2020) and offer full citations in references below.

1. Offer the first problem here.

· Write up theoretically based interventions that will walk through the clinical process. For example, you don’t want to start with ego analysis without first offering psychoeducation.

2. Second problem as needed

· Write up the next step of tiered theoretically based interventions.

Outcome Measures of Change

Offer what the changes would look like for the client (increased euphoric moods, attentiveness, prosocial behaviors) as measured by

· Offer how you will measure when the outcomes have been met.
