Learning Objectives

· Assess clients presenting for psychotherapy

· Evaluate effectiveness of therapeutic approaches for clients receiving psychotherapy

· Apply existential-humanistic therapy to clients with psychiatric disorders

To prepare:

· Review this week’s media and consider the insights provided.

· Reflect on the clients you are currently counseling at your practicum site.

By Day 3

Post a 3- to 5-minute Kaltura video that addresses the following:

· Describe a client you are counseling whom you do not think is adequately progressing according to expected clinical outcomes.

Note:  Do not use the client’s actual name.

· Explain your therapeutic approach with the client, including the perceived effectiveness of your approach.
