Group note

Select two clients you observed or counseled this week during a group therapy session. Note: The two clients you select must have attended the same group session.

Then, in your Practicum Journal, address the following:

• Using the Group Therapy Progress Note in this week’s Learning Resources, document the group session.
• Describe each client (without violating HIPAA regulations), and identify any pertinent history or medical information, including prescribed medications.
• Using the DSM-5, explain and justify your diagnosis for each client.
• Explain whether cognitive behavioral therapy would be effective with this group. Include expected outcomes based on this therapeutic approach.
• Explain any legal and/or ethical implications related to counseling each client.
• Support your approach with evidence-based literature.
