TRAUMA ASSESSMENT AND INTERVENTION PLANNING CASE STUDY ASSIGNMENT In this final

TRAUMA ASSESSMENT AND INTERVENTION PLANNING CASE STUDY ASSIGNMENT
In this final assignment for the Treating Trauma Course, you will assess a client using a provided case study, determine a specific trauma diagnosis, and demonstrate how you would use trauma-informed care principles in this case. Additionally, you will create psychoeducational materials to help the client understand their trauma experience and demonstrate how to use a trauma-informed intervention through a role-play exercise and reflection.
FIRST:
You will choose one of the following case studies to complete.
The Case of Robin
After reading the case study, complete the following parts of this assignment.
Part 1: Clinical Impressions and Diagnosis
a. Write a narrative about the client and the case history to date, including the DSM-5-TR diagnosis. Provide the specific criteria needed to meet the diagnosis and examples of how the client meets these criteria.
b. Assess the resources, strengths, and/or competencies evident in the client’s situation.
c. Discuss your clinical impressions of the case.
Part 2: Applying Trauma-Informed Care
a. Discuss the trauma-informed care principles you would use at the beginning of your work with the client.
b. Explain if and how these principles might change as your work continues. Support your answer with course materials, using appropriate APA7 citations.
Part 3: Theories, Treatment, and Strengths-Based Perspective
a. Determine two appropriate trauma treatment theories and/or approaches that fit the client’s needs. Integrate course materials and at least two scholarly sources outside of the course materials to support your selections.
b. Explain why you chose these treatment approaches, integrating information from the case study, course materials, and scholarly literature. Use appropriate APA7 citations.
c. Provide researched evidence supporting the efficacy of your chosen interventions for the specific type of trauma experienced by the client.
d. Discuss the client’s strengths and resilience factors and how these can be incorporated into the treatment plan.
Part 4: The Therapeutic Alliance and Client Education
a. Create psychoeducational materials for the client related to their diagnosis and symptoms. Consider the client’s life stage when developing these materials.
b. Ensure that the language used in the materials is free of social work jargon and is clearly written for the client to understand the relevant symptoms and concepts surrounding their experience of trauma, diagnosis, and symptoms.
c. Discuss how psychoeducation can help build the therapeutic alliance with the client in your case study.
Part 5: Intervention Role-Play and Reflection
a. Conduct a role-play exercise with a colleague from the field, a field supervisor, or a social worker that you know in which you demonstrate how to introduce and execute one of the clinical interventions covered in class that you would use when working with the client in this case study. If you can work with someone who has experience treating trauma that would be an excellent learning opportunity!!!
b. After the role-play, write a reflection addressing the following:
– Describe the intervention you chose and why you believe it is appropriate for the client in the case study.
– Reflect on your experience during the role-play, discussing what went well and what challenges you encountered.
– Analyze how the intervention aligns with the principles of trauma-informed care and how it addresses the client’s specific needs.
– Discuss what you learned from this experience and how it might inform your future work with trauma survivors.
