Application: Applying Theoretical Interventions for Clients Experiencing Life Transition and Developmental Issues

Certain elements of treatment planning for clients experiencing life transition and developmental issues may be easier than others. For instance, it may be obvious that a breadwinner's job loss is the major concern facing a family. The more difficult part may be crafting clinical and treatment formulations for this issue that explain how it affects the clients, what needs they have, and how you, as a counselor, plan to intervene (Sperry, 2005). As you examine life transition and developmental issues in this week and the next, use your theoretical orientation to conceptualize the scenarios presented and plan theory-based interventions.

To prepare for this Application Assignment, select and view one movie from the list provided in this week's Learning Resources. Begin to conceptualize the couple's or family's problem through your theoretical orientation and identify interventions that you might use. Locate articles in the Walden Library that could be used to justify the interventions you selected.

Note: If you are unable to acquire one of the movies, you may contact your Instructor for alternative arrangements.
