Part 2: Write a 750-1,250-word paper to provide brief therapy to the hypothetical client and his/her family using one of the brief therapy models described in CSAT TIP #34.

Your plan should include the following:

The therapy model you will implement with the family and rationale for the selected model.

Two to four initial counseling goals that you hope to achieve using this model.

Planned frequency and duration of counseling.

A description of three counseling activities, exercises, or homework assignments that you will use (one in the initial session, one in a subsequent session, and one at termination) that are consistent with the model you have selected.
