The content within psychological treatment plans varies depending on the clinical setting. The clinician\u2019s theoretical orientation, evidenced-based practices, and the client\u2019s needs are taken into account when developing and implementing a treatment plan. Typically, the client\u2019s presenting problem(s), behaviorally defined symptom(s), goals, objectives, and interventions determined by the clinician are included within a treatment plan.<\/p>\n<p>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.
