Developmental, Sociocultural, Ethical, and Diagnostic Considerations in Counseling Children and Adolescents

Mental Health Counselors of children and adolescents often need to communicate with appropriate individuals, such as supervisors, parents, or other counselors, about the basic facts and issues surrounding their clients. Creating a factual summary is the first step in the building a case conceptualization, diagnosis, and treatment plan.

Your assignment is to develop a case description, analysis, and treatment plan for a hypothetical case. You will first create a background sketch for your hypothetical case, following the example below. Next, you will present your analysis of the developmental, cultural, and legal aspects of the case. Then you will present your diagnosis and treatment plan for the case.

Your case description and treatment plan should be succinct in addressing each area. Counselors must prepare reports that summarize many details accurately but briefly.

Use the Conceptualizing a Case Template, linked in Resources, to develop your treatment plan.

This template will provide the correct format and structure of a brief background sketch, case analysis, and initial treatment plan.
