Review the case study on page 119 as well as the treatment information on page 124 of the Abnormal Psychology text as resources for this discussion and consider a treatment plan for the client.

Use this outline to draft your treatment plan for the client:

1. Brief description of the client.

2. Presenting symptoms.

3. Key issues.

4. Short-term goals.

5. Long-term goals.

6. Recommended treatment approach. (Describe why you believe this would be an effective approach for the client. MFCT learners, please address a systemic perspective in your treatment approach using a family therapy model such as narrative, brief solution-focused, MRI, structural, strategic, or other systemic postmodern model.)

7. Three specific interventions or techniques drawn from your recommended approach that you would use to help the client reach the short- or long-term goals you noted. (Provide a brief description of the technique and state how it would help the client move toward the goal.)

8. Recommended other people to be included in the client's treatment process. Be sure to include how including this person would be helpful. If there is no one, please state that and explain why.

Cite two resources to support your treatment recommendations. These resources should be peer-reviewed articles, books about PTSD, or Web sites about PTSD that you have reviewed.
