Presenting problem: Client walked into therapy without a defined presenting problem. As our session progressed, she realized that she has been dealing with some stress in various aspects of her life that include school, fitness and diet, and interpersonal relationships.

    ... By scheduling an activity that the client can participate in and complete, it can give them a sense of mastery in a specific task. This can be beneficial for the client to feel accomplished. Another technique that I feel can be beneficial in therapy is role-playing. Role-playing can be helpful for a client to learn how to dispute irrational beliefs by becoming aware of negative feelings towards theses beliefs (Tan, 2011). In addition, role-playing can help the client to overcome their emotions and practice coping skills that are more effective. The last technique I would incorporate into therapy would be relaxation training. I would suggest ways that can help the client relax including, deep breathing, meditation, yoga, a massage or exercising. By getting the client to have methods to relax, I think it can help with managing their thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

The Client is encouraged to define their goals from the start where the social worker may present and alternate perspective are to ask the miracle question.

Second the surprise task surprising another person connected with the problem in a good way “shake up” in the clients’ routine and influence positive behavior.

Where the focus is on helping clients identify strategies to maintain and continue the momentum of enacting solutions.

    I really like that this form of therapy does not focus on problem talk, but instead focuses on solution talk. However, the true focus is all about change and the resources needed to make that change.

    We see a diverse group of clients, whom we refer to as patients, however, a majority of our patients suffer from a severe mental illness, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Commonly, our patients are treated with medical and psychotherapeutic modalities. Most of our on staff therapists and social workers use cognitive behavioral techniques during therapy, but I have been using an integrative approach with solution-focused brief therapy techniques in the mix. I like to use solution-focused brief therapy for various reasons. Essentially, our patients are with us for only a short period of time. For example, most of our patients are discharged within three days of their admission, with the exception of the court-committed patients who are waiting on a bed at the Mississippi State Hospital. It only makes sense to use an approach that focuses on making small changes in a short amount of time. In addition to this, we also deal with patient’s family members. Often times, family members are not educated on the illness and create more problems. I think it is important for patients along with their family members to create small changes and make

    I think the major technique is focusing on the person and not the problem which would help the client to achieve independence and allow the client to cope with current and future problem they may face. Another major technique is the client determines the course of directions of therapy. Another technique is the person-centered therapy which is a non-directive which allows the client to be the focus of the therapy session without the therapy giving advice.
