Generalist Intervention Model to Maintain Structured Thought Processes
This case is pertains to a 43 year old female named Elizabeth Slone; the client is having problems with maintaining structured thought processes. She believes that her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Attention Deficit Disorder are battling in her mind, so using the Generalist Intervention Model Elizabeth and I will manage everything from engagement to the follow-up, a structured technique of planned changes for addressing her tribulations. I am hoping to help her put together a plan, in turn put together a plan of action that can help label things and sort them out.
Engagement
The client entered my office this morning and proceeded to sit down in a chair in which I have place beside my desk, this is so that I may turn and have face to face contact with my client. I prefer this so that my clients will feel more comfortable and relaxed, to not have any distractions when listening during the intake process. As my client is discussing the issues at hand I make sure to maintain eye contact and continue facing her so that I may ascertain a connection, it is important for my client to know that I am attentive and receptive. I do this by using non-verbal gestures and simple encouragement; this is with the hope that Elizabeth will be open and honest about what the issues at hand. I could tell the reluctance in the beginning of our session and now she has advanced toward me, this to me is a sign of confidence.
Client Background
Elizabeth Slone is a female, 43 years in age, mother of three along with 4 step-daughters and 11 grandbabies simultaneously; she has been married for almost two years and been together for almost 8 years now. She is the middle of three siblings herself, older sister and a younger brother. She has very little contact with either one of them; this is due to the different beliefs and lifestyles. Elizabeth, her husband along with their two dogs and one cat live way out in the country; all of their children are grown and have moved on to live
