VII. Treatment Strategies A. Discuss the efficacy of treatment strategies appropriate for this particular client. B. How do classic and contemporary psychology theories support these conclusions?

Make sure this section of your assessment reflects the most current in clinical practices. You will also want to take into account ethical practices and the roles that may be taken by any individuals involved in the treatments. Remember to consider who hired you (the law firm in the final project) and, therefore, to whom you are responsible to disclose information. Guidelines for Submission: You should submit a well-developed and theory based treatment strategy for the case study client from PSY 622. Your paper must be submitted as a 2–3 page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and sources cited in APA format. Instructor Feedback: This activity uses an integrated rubric in Blackboard. Students can view instructor feedback in the Grade Center. For more information, review these instructions.
