Explain, with as much visual information as possible, the client’s  cognitive or behavioral symptoms based on your selected theoretical  orientation. You may choose to create diagrams, figures, or charts to  illustrate the relationship between the client’s cognitions, affect, and  behavior.

Prior to beginning work on this interactive assignment, please review Cases 18, 19, and 20 in Case Studies in Abnormal Psychology (Gorenstein & Comer 2015) and any relevant Instructor Guidance.

In  practice, clinical and counseling psychologists utilize  psychoeducational tools (e.g., bibliotherapy, client handouts,  worksheets, etc.) to enhance the client’s knowledge about mental health  issues, coping strategies, and resources.

For  this interactive assignment, you will create a visually interesting  client handout based on the case study chosen for the Psychiatric  Diagnosis assignment in PSY645 and your Week Six Psychological Treatment  Plan in this course. You must attach your client handout document to  your initial post in the forum.

The client handout will include the following required elements.

Education:  Explain, with as much visual information as possible, the client’s  cognitive or behavioral symptoms based on your selected theoretical  orientation. You may choose to create diagrams, figures, or charts to  illustrate the relationship between the client’s cognitions, affect, and  behavior.

Intervention:  Create a self-help exercise (e.g., a dysfunctional thought record,  meditation, deep breathing, guided imagery, muscle relaxation, thought  stopping, etc.) to assist the client in monitoring or reducing  maladaptive cognitions, affect, and/or behavior outside of therapeutic  sessions. Include an explanation about how the handout could be useful  in reducing the client’s symptoms. You may choose to visually represent  this exercise with charts, scripts, steps, or other media.

Resources:  Assess current trends in psychotherapy, and list complete APA reference  entries for five sources that would help the client learn more about  his or her presenting problem(s), early warning signs of relapse, and  managing symptoms. Please include hyperlinks if such exist for your  resources.
