Typically, the clients presenting problem(s), behaviorally defined symptom(s), goals, objectives, and interventions determined by the clinician are included within a treatment plan
To understand the treatment planning process, students will assume the role of a clinical or counseling psychologist and develop a comprehensive treatment plan based on the same case study utilized for the Psychiatric Diagnosis assignment in PSY645
A minimum of five peer-reviewed resources must be used to support the recommendations made within the plan

List the clients cognitive and behavioral symptoms

This goal should be broad and does not need to be measureable
Short-Term Objectives Generate a minimum of three short-term objectives for attaining the long-term goal
Each objective should be stated in behaviorally measureable language
Subjective or vague objectives are not acceptable
For example, it should be stated that the objective will be accomplished by a specific date or that a specific symptom will be reduced by a certain percentage
