This assignment is called a
process recording. It is a summary of a make-believe counseling session at an
outpatient counseling center. Attached is a made-up client session. It must be written in the template attached.
Based on the session notes, a
made-up dialogue needs to be written between the counselor and the client about
the session discussion. The point is to demonstrate clinical skills as a
counselor. It just needs three impactful snippets of the session such as the
beginning, middle, and end. The object is not to write out the whole
conversation. Rather, to prove that the counselor can facilitate an effective
session by highlighting important parts of the discussion.
The counseling approach being
used is called Solution-Focused Therapy. Please include at least two US.-based cited references for solution-focused therapy. Key skills for this approach include,
for example:
Positive Questioning
Reinforcement
Communication (i.e., engaging in organic dialogue)
Empathy (e.g., focused curiosity, repeating what I
thought I heard)
Active Listening (e.g., paying attention with eye
contact, using engaged head nods)
Open-Ended Questioning (i.e., asking questions that
don’t have yes or no answers
