Assessment of Client Core Issues
Saturday, March 29, 7:30 am - 8:30 am
60-Minute Program, CONVENTION CENTER, Room 307
Richard Halstead, St. Joseph College, West Hartford, CT
A client’s presenting problems and accompanying symptoms are often reflections of deeper problematic core issues. Understanding core issues and designing a counseling plan based on this framework enhances effectiveness in facilitating change and relapse prevention especially with clients who present difficult treatment challenges. The model presented in this book helps uncover the origin of these core concerns, provides a means to address them by deconstructing the client’s living story, and challenges counselors to move beyond intervention modalities informed by the diagnostic limitations of the DSM-IV-TR.
