SOAP Notes
Subjective
Father says he is concerned about his daughter's drinking and that his wife and daughter are drinking buddies. Mother says she and daughter are close friends and have a drink together occasionally. Mother says her husband treats her like a trophy so the world will see his success. Daughter says Father thinks she is a dancing monkey, and has no idea what she wants in her life. Father says he shows his love for his family by providing for them. He said part of his role is to tell his daughter what she wants, because she is too young to know for herself.
Objective
Proxemic behavior suggests mother and daughter allied against father (mother and daughter sit together, father sits alone. Mother and daughter use the word …show more content…
Mother seems overly dependent on daughter for emotional needs. Need to rule out daughter's alcohol abuse. Father has a fairly linear perspective on family life.
Plan
Strengthen parents relationship - date night once per week. Strengthen mother's sense of self and developing other friend relationships by becoming involved in something outside the home. Father and daughter will spend alone time together each week. Father will practice thinking about his role in the family differently-being a loving father rather than provider.
Benefit and Limitation of SOAP Notes
As long as counselors provide enough information, this notation format is an easy and efficient way of keeping records in a basic format that can be developed according to counselors' personal style of recordkeeping. Quinn and Gordon (2003) believe this format is widely used and understood by the majority of healthcare professionals, which is a benefit for the profession. Delitto and Snyder-Mackler (1995) believe the brevity of this format may preclude using it to assess progress, and emphasize the need to record adequate information.

Father is concerned about the drinking and also about the mother allowing the daughter to drink. Mother and daughter report having a close relationship, and mother and father report being distant. Mother and daughter believe the father uses them as trophies. Daughter expresses having a good relationship with her mother, but that her father does not know her or have any idea of who she is and what she wants. Father states he expresses his love by providing for his family.
Assessment
Parental relationship has deteriorated over time; mother and daughter became closer while the father became more distant from both the mother and daughter. Mother and daughter have become enmeshed and are somewhat estranged from Dad. Dad perceives his relationship to both in a fairly linear way and expresses his love in providing for the family rather than in overt emotional ways. He learned this role from his father. Daughter does some drinking with Mom and also with friends, so further investigation of her drinking behavior is warranted.
