5.3 Assignment: Assessment
Getting Started
The purpose of assessment, no matter how formal or informal, is to gain an understanding of a client or organization’s major identifying problems or challenges. Without an assessment, you will not have as much information as you might need to address the problems or challenges well. Assessments help identify the scope of the challenges or problems and assist the client and the psychologist to identify goals to focus on. Finally, assessments can also provide a method of evaluation: after completing the intervention, did the client accomplish their goals or solve their problems? If so, how well? Thus, assessments are an important component when working with clients of any type.
Upon successful completion of the course material, you will be able to:
· Analyze your assessment interview.
· Select and justify an intervention based on the scenario for your assessment interview.
· Create an assessment based on your assessment interview.
· Diagnose a client situation or problem.
Resources
· Your video from Workshop Four
Background Information
For this assignment, you will expand on the interview video you created for Workshop Four. Use your peers’ feedback from the discussion in this workshop if you find it useful. You will use the results of the completed assessment that you focused on for the interview to determine a diagnosis, which could be a formal DSM diagnosis or a less formal identification of the problem. Additionally, you will determine an intervention you might use, keeping in mind your specialization and that you aren’t engaging in clinical psychology but, rather, life coaching from a strengths or positive psychology perspective. You will need to do some research for this assignment.
Instructions
1. Watch the assessment interview video you created in Workshop Four.
2. Write a minimum three-page, APA-formatted paper addressing the following:
a. If you (or the client) have not already done so, complete the assessment you selected for your assignment interview based on how your client might complete it.
b. What would be your diagnosis of the client? (This could be a formal DSM diagnosis or a less-formal identifying problem.) Why?
c. Given the scenario, identify an intervention you would use with the person/situation in the scenario and provide justification of why you would use that intervention.
d. Describe the evidence for your selected intervention.
e. Describe the contraindications or lack of evidence for your selected intervention.
3. As part of the paper, you will need to identify sources that support your main points. Please provide at least two outside references, in addition to references from your readings, in correct APA format for these sources in a reference page at the end of your paper.

5.1 Discussion. Love Betrayed
Getting Started
Read aloud from Luke 23:
Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed. When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.
The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.”
The soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine vinegar and said, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.”
There was a written notice above him, which read: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”
But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”
Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two.
Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last.
Luke 23:32–46
Now think—Jesus has been betrayed. God allowed himself to be betrayed by his own creation. Why? What kind of story is this? What kind of love is this? It is a divine love that we cannot understand.
Upon successful completion of the course material, you will be able to:
· Share your perspective on the relationship between betrayal and love.
Resources
· Bible
Background Information
There is no greater demonstration of love than when Jesus whispers from the cross, “ Father, forgive them, they know not what they are doing.”
Please allow these words, this picture of love, to sink into your heart and mind! Jesus is not being crucified by his enemies, though it would seem so. Jesus is not being crucified by those he dislikes or has disdain for. True, we all are sinners and have done plenty that does not bring about warm feelings, to say the least.
But Jesus loves us! He loves the people who are yelling at the top of their lungs, “Crucify him!” Oh, the anguish of having your own loved ones—the ones you came to save, the ones you came to bring the news of the Kingdom of Heaven to—put you to a horrific and agonizing death on purpose.
Betrayal. His love was betrayed. He was betrayed. The worst betrayal in history. The worst betrayal possible. He was hung on a cross by the people he came to save, by those he created to mirror his holy image.
Love and betrayal—what do these two things have in common? How are we to reconcile loving and being betrayed by the very object of that love? Would we know the depths of God’s love if he had not been betrayed?
Instructions
1. Read this devotional, “Love Betrayed.”
2. Navigate to the discussion topic and respond to the following:
a. Share your perspective on the relationship between betrayal and love.
b. Be well developed by providing clear answers with evidence of critical thinking.
c. Add greater depth to the discussion by introducing new ideas.
d. Provide clarification to classmates’ questions and insight into the discussion.

5.4 Assignment. Interview. Intervention
Getting Started
No matter what field or specialization you plan to pursue or who your clients will be, you need to develop some basic skills when working with clients or colleagues from all realms. In Workshop One, you were introduced to the series of interviews that you will conduct for this course, role plays where you will do your best to practice and demonstrate various skills. For this third role play, you will demonstrate basic intervention skills. While you will not be engaging in therapy per se, the skills you will be learning and practicing still apply when consulting with clients as a life coach, I/O psychologist, and in several other areas.
Upon successful completion of the course material, you will be able to:
· Practice using intervention techniques.
Resources
· Textbook: Evidence-Based Practices for Christian Counseling and Psychotherapy
· Article: The Effectiveness of Strength-Based Executive Coaching in Enhancing Full Range Leadership Development: A Controlled Study
· Video: Positive Psychotherapy: Helping People Thrive
· Video: Strengths-Based CBT: Making a Positive Difference
· File: Using Kaltura CaptureSpace (Word)
· Video: Installing Kaltura CaptureSpace
· Video: Creating and Editing a Video with Kaltura
· Video: Adding a Video in My Media to a Dropbox
Background Information
Psychologists are developing strengths-based therapy approaches that use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) principles and practices to construct new beliefs and behaviors that promote positive client growth. Changes in CBT over the past three decades (for example, an increased emphasis on behavioral experiments and imagery and a greater appreciation of neuroscience) provide platforms for new therapy methods such as constructive use of imagery, client-generated metaphors, and therapeutic use of smiling and silence. There appears to be a trend toward CBT approaches that more explicitly help people thrive in the face of life challenges.
For this activity, you are a life coach or I/O specialist or psychologist who is working with someone with an issue related to organizations or family systems (your choice).
Create your own scenario: identify the presenting problem or issue, the client, customer or colleague, and your role. Alternatively, you can build on one of the scenarios from Workshop Two or Four.
Focus on problem solving, not diagnosis. Find an appropriate intervention to use. Ensure the intervention is grounded in the strength’s perspective or positive psychology. You will need to conduct some library research.
Instructions
1. Review the rubric to make sure you understand the criteria for earning your grade.
2. In your textbook, Evidence-Based Practices for Christian Counseling and Psychotherapy, read::
a. Chapter 4, “Christian Devotional Meditation for Anxiety”
b. Chapter 5, “Christian-Accommodative Cognitive Therapy for Depression”
c. Chapter 12, “Marital Couples and Forgiveness Intervention”
3. Read the article “ The Effectiveness of Strength-Based Executive Coaching in Enhancing Full Range Leadership Development: A Controlled Study .”
Watch the following segments from the “ Positive Psychotherapy: Helping People Thrive ” video: https://video.alexanderstreet.com/p/MZNpok6qR

6. An essential component of this engagement activity is creating a script of your planned conversation with the client. Your script should be a text document that represents the words you plan to say during your practice interview.
a. By creating a script, you will have a plan for your conversation and an approximate time frame for your video because you can plan on about 1 minute per double-spaced page. Double-spacing your text allows for ease of reading while you are recording the video.
b. After you have your script finalized, you are ready to record your video! You are also required to submit your script in order to receive full credit for this assignment.
7. Create a five- to seven-minute video where you practice using intervention techniques. For this activity, you are a life coach or I/O specialist/psychologist who is working with someone with an issue related to organizations or family systems (your choice). Alternatively, you can build on one of the scenarios from Workshop Two or Four.
a. Identify the presenting problem or issue, the client, customer or colleague and your role in your recording. Ensure you also briefly discuss the intervention you will be applying.
b. Focus on problem solving, not diagnosis. Find an appropriate strengths-based or positive psychology intervention to use.
c. During the interview recording, demonstrate your knowledge of and expertise in (as much as possible) the application of the intervention to help alleviate or reduce a challenge or problem that you and the client focus on.
d. Ensure that you are visible in the video; it is optional that your client be seen, because some may not want to be visible. Practice and replay your practice recording to ensure that both you and your client can be heard and that you (at a minimum) can be seen. Then, complete your role-play recording.
8. When you have completed your role-play recording to your satisfaction, upload your video and the script you prepared by clicking on the Activities button and the instructions provided.
