Imagine your team has been asked to present to a group of counseling interns at a psychiatric hospital to teach them about the intricacies of schizophrenia spectrum disorder.
 
Create a case scenario for a client with schizophrenia.
 
Review the Psychotherapy of Schizophrenia: A Brief History and the Potential to Promote Recovery article, located on this week’s Electronic Reserve Readings page.
 
Create a 12- to 15-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation to teach the counseling interns treatment strategies for the client in your case scenario. Include the following:

    • Provide a summary of the client’s case scenario.

Sarah is a 12-year-old girl who is currently in middle school. Her parents came into the office to receive assistance due to having concerns for the client’s behaviors and being unable to identify what is causing her behaviors. Parents state that the client hears voices and sees things that are not present. Clients parents tell the counselor that the client states that she sees her grandfather and great-grandmother who have passed away years ago. They also allow the counselor to know that the client will do different things and tell others that someone told her to do it. Upon meeting with the client, the client allows the counselor to know that she does see her grandfather, great-grandmother, and that voices do tell her to do different things. During the session, the client would look into the distance at times and she appeared to be focusing on something else or not paying attention to what was going on around her. When spoken to, the client was unable to provide information on what was being discussed.
 

    • Outline the behavioral symptoms the client is exhibiting.
    • Describe how the behavioral symptoms of the client fit into diagnostic criteria for each disorder.
    • Describe possible assessment instruments that may be used with each client, and explain why this instrument should be used.
    • Describe therapeutic interventions for treating this client.
    • Provide a differential diagnosis for explaining why this client has schizophrenia spectrum disorder and not another psychotic disorder.

 
Cite a minimum of three sources.
 
Format any citations in your presentation consistent with appropriate course-level APA guidelines.
