PURPOSE:
For the student to examine the methods and techniques in screening, assessment and treatment plan development when working with Chemical Abuse or Chemically Dependent clients, including some information on Axial diagnosing and Co-Occurring disorders.
Behavioral Objectives:
1) The student will be able to identify what types of screening instruments will be most helpful for the clinical assessment.
2) The student will be able to complete an assessment, including completing a Dimensional Analysis, the Axial diagnosis on the assessment and treatment planning based on the information in the assessment.
3) The student will be able to identify the special needs of clients with Co-Occurring disorders.
4) The student to identify their role as a counselor and personal insecurities they are currently experiencing when administering screening instruments, assessments and treatment planning.
The goal of every undergraduate student is to employ these for questions:
What does it mean to be human?
What does it mean to participate in intellectual inquiry?
What does it mean to “make a living” and to live as a productive human being?
The faculty and staff of the university join with students in a cooperative and enthusiastic search for truth, so that students may develop:
v Character-have a positive impact on the world and on the communities in which they live and work, particularly by recognizing and accepting personal accountability to themselves, to society and to God;
v Competence-further their ability to live full and rewarding lives by becoming competent working members of society who know the basics of their professional field and have access to future learning;
v Commitment-find meaning in life which enables them to participate effectively in society while transcending its limitations, by living according to their own moral and religious convictions, as well as respecting the dignity and beliefs or other people.
Academic Policies: Please read Pg., 10 in the undergraduate catalog.
Accommodation for special needs: Reasonable accommodation will be afforded students with documented disabilities as verified and determined by the Center for Academic Excellence, in Sullivan Hall (791-5213). Please notify me as soon as possible of any adjustments or concerns.
Confidentiality: Students are expected to maintain confidentiality of personal information discussed by their peers. Due to the discussion in the course about difficult life experiences some individuals feel encouraged to discuss their experience.
