Integrate the information you’ve learned across the entire course Use empirical resources to support your claims consider how to use the course content in an applied manner.

The purposes of the final case paper are to: Integrate the information you’ve learned across the entire course Use empirical resources to support your claims consider how to use the course content in an applied manner. In this paper you will present a treatment plan for your client based on the principles of evidence-based practice. You may choose any of the case examples provided. Your final paper should be 5-7 pages long, double spaced, using Times New Roman 12 point font You should use APA style for your in-text citations and references You must use at least 5 references that are articles from peer-reviewed journals to support your analysis of your case Please attach each article consulted to the end of your paper. Note that Wikipedia, websites (e.g., www.personalitydisorders.org), citations pulled directly from the textbook, and the textbook itself is not proper references. Please DO NOT include these The following is an outline for guiding your paper. Please use this outline and the headers. (adapted from Salters-Pedneault) Brief Case Conceptualization: This section should be 1 or 2 paragraphs long, and should outline the main environmental/psychological/social factors that you believe have caused and/or are maintaining your ″patient’s″ symptoms. This need not be exhaustive, but you need to have some ideas about the main factors that may be contributing to your patient’s symptoms. Overview of treatment plan: This section should be 1-2 paragraphs and will give an overview of the psychological treatment approach you plan to take. You should specify the theoretical orientation that will guide your treatment, explaining in your own words what that orientation is. You must also give your rationale for selecting this treatment approach (which should include both the scientific evidence that supports this orientation and any other factors that guided your choice of this treatment). While you may mention medication as an adjunctive treatment, keep in mind that the focus of this paper is on psychotherapy. Specific Therapeutic Techniques: This section should be 3-4 paragraphs long and should describe the specific therapeutic techniques you will be using in your intervention. You may draw techniques that have origins in different theoretical orientations (although you should use one orientation to guide most of your interventions). For example, techniques you may want to use could include things like: psychoeducation, skills training, unconditional positive regard, transference/countertransference, the “empty chair” technique, in vivo exposure, functional analysis and behavior modification, mindfulness, cognitive restructuring. There are many other techniques, these are just some examples to get you thinking. We will learn about these and other techniques in class and in your readings, but you will also learn about more as you are researching your treatment approach.
 Make sure you are not just “throwing the kitchen sink” at your patient—pick three or four techniques that you will focus on, and make sure that the techniques come together to form a coherent treatment plan. For each technique, write about a paragraph that describes specifically how you will use the technique. For example, if you are using cognitive restructuring, what are the thoughts you will focus on? If you are using unconditional positive regard, how will that process look like in the therapy session? Predicted Treatment Progress: This section will be about one paragraph long. Provide a summary of your patient’s expected response to treatment including whether this is likely to be a treatment success. Explain why you have made this prediction, based on the literature and empirical evidence for your treatment choices.
