Health Medical Homework Help

This assignment is called a process recording. It is a summary of a make-believe counseling session at an outpatient counseling center.

Based on the new session notes attached (required for this assignment…this is the same client from before, just a new session), a made-up dialogue needs to be written in the template included between the counselor and the client about the session discussion. The point is to demonstrate clinical skills as a counselor. It just needs three impactful snippets of the session such as the beginning, middle, and end. The object is not to write out the whole conversation. Rather, to prove that the counselor can facilitate an effective session by highlighting important parts of the discussion.

The counseling approach being used is called Solution-Focused Therapy. Please include at least two US.-based cited references for solution-focused therapy. Key skills for this approach include, for example:

Positive Questioning

Reinforcement

Communication (i.e., engaging in organic dialogue)

Empathy (e.g., focused curiosity, repeating what I thought I heard)

Active Listening (e.g., paying attention with eye contact, using engaged head nods)

Open-Ended Questioning (i.e., asking questions that don’t have yes or no answers)
