Editor's Notes
ACA Code – influenced by Kitchener’s 5 moral principles
* Autonomy: concept of independence & ability to make one’s own decisions
* Justice: treating each person fairly
* Beneficence: doing good, or doing what is client’s best interest
* Nonmaleficence: do no harm
* Fidelity: loyalty; faithfulness; honoring commitments
Sections: The Counseling Relationship; Confidentiality and Privacy; Professional Responsibility; Relationships with other Professionals; Evaluation, Assessment, and Interpretation; Supervision, Training, and Teaching; Research and Publication; Distance counseling, technology, and social media; Resolving ethical issues
---
Ethics – C.7.b: Use techniques/procedures/modalities that are grounded in theory or have empirical or scientific foundation
---
C.2.a: Boundaries of Competence: Practice w/in boundaries of competence based on 1) education, 2) training, 3), supervised experienced, 4) state and national professional credentials, and 5) appropriate professional experience
---
Laws: More prescriptive than ethical standards; greater sanctions/consequences
Governing entities: Courts; Fed/State agencies
Clinical Practice: Location & type; other professionals
Decision making: ethical codes; ethical training; supervision; consultation
Professionalism: licensing board; professional organization; colleagues
---
Legal Action Center: Fights discrimination vs. persons with Hx of addiction, illness, criminal behavior
---
I.1.c: Make known commitment to Code of Ethics and attempt to resolve conflict; if cannot, acting w/in client’s best interests, adhere to the requirements of the law
CBT:
Guides clients to modify dysfunctional cognition and behavioral patterns associated with presenting problems
---
MI:
Conversational approach that helps clients address ambivalence to change
---
Key components:
Accurate empathy,
Avoid arguments
Adjust to resistance (not opposing directly)
Empower self-efficacy & optimism
Develop discrepancy between client goals/values and current behaviors
ICD-10: Copywrited by World Health Organization (WHO)
- a coding of diseases, signs and symptoms, external causes of disease, etc.
- October 1, 2015 – new compliance date (according to CMS – Medicaid and Medicare)
- New features: expanded injury codes; greater specificity
- affects Dx and inpatient procedure for all covered by HIPAA
---
ACA Ethics & Dx – E.5: Proper Dx; Cultural Sensitivity; Hx and Social Prejudice in Dxing of pathology; Refraining from Dx
---
Essential Features/Prototypes: Compare data from current client to a “picture” of how we interpret various mental or behavioral disorders (which is based on experience, clinical intuition, study of diagnostic criteria)
* Scale – how ideally does your client match the Dx you are considering? Use scale of 1-5
* Consider Jongsma’s “Diagnostic Suggestions” category to explore DSM 5 criteria
---
Mental Disorder: A collection of symptoms, which can be behavioral or psychological, that causes a person disability or distress in social, personal, or occupational functioning
---
Zcodes: conditions, not mental disorders, but require clinical attention
5 axis system: Recorded biopsychosocial assessment of clients
Axis 1: Principal Disorder requiring immediate attention
Axis 2: Personality Disorder
Axis 3: Medical or neurological disorder
Axis 4: Psychosocial stressors
Axis 5: Level of Functioning (GAF)
---
Provisional Dx: One believes that Dx is appropriate but sufficient Hx has not been attained
- could be due to limited contact with client
- could be that symptoms are anticipated with continued ct. contact
- could be that lab tests have yet to confirm medical condition or SA
---
Unspecified Dx: Ct. doesn’t fully meet Dx criteria (based on self-report denial of important symptoms) – reasons are not specified
--
Other specified: Same as unspecified, but reasons are specified (e.g. duration of Sx shorter than required)
---
The D’s:
Differential Dx: Alternative disorders when evaluating symptoms (e.g. SA, general medical disorders)
Distress or Disability: Challenges are severe enough to affect work, social interactions, etc.
Duration: Minimum length of time needed to qualify as disorder (e.g. several weeks) to avoid misdiagnosis of transient difficulties
Demographics: Some disorders are limited to certain age groups or genders (e.g. Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder)
---
Specifiers: Some disorders include considerations of presence – or absence – of certain symptoms, degrees of remissions, onsets of recovery and whether they are partial or full
Subtype: e.g. PTSD in children younger than 6 years
Severity: Varies by disorder but self explanatory…. E.g. Mild-moderate-severe (and profound, such as in intellectual disability)
----- Meeting Notes (9/10/15 16:06) -----
Specifier e.g.:
Social Anxiety Disorder
- performance only (e.g. fears public speaking or performing, but not other situations)
Meta Analysis: Statistical technique for combining the findings from independents studies
- often used to assess clinical effectiveness of healthcare interventions
- this study was unique in that it 1) only included studies that compared 2 or more therapies, 2) did not classify Tx into categories, and 3) included only those treatments that were intended to be therapeutic
---
PTSD Sx: Re-experiencing; avoidance of specifics or generalizations to Tx; hyperarounsal; hypervigilence
---
“Bona fide”: Use of Wampold criteria – Main criteria: therapy was delivered by a trained therapist with established relationship with client; Tx was tailored to ct. needs
---
Conclusion: Psychotherapy is effective (as compared to no Tx) & bona fide Txs provide same benefits for PTSD clients
6 domains:
Cognition (understanding & communicating);
mobility (getting around);
self-care (hygiene);
getting along (interacting with others);
life activities (leisure, work);
participation (in community activities)
MSE: Structured assessment of patient’s behavioral and cognitive functioning.

Judicious self-disclosures:
(Paul does jokingly state that he has trouble with email when Frances talks about difficulty working social media)
- Paul’s insights derived from personal experiences (w/family) might be communicated through his acknowledging the difficulty of loving a rejecting child
As a team: What are the most important reported symptoms, observed behaviors?
What “family” of disorders (e.g. Depressive Disorders) would the symptoms likely “fit in”? (If more than one, please list in order of prominence)
What are the three most important reported symptoms, background data, etc.
What information, if any, needs to be gathered for a more educated diagnosis?
Given the presented information, what diagnosis(es) seems most reasonable? If you are unsure, which “family” of disorders (e.g. Depressive Disorders) would the described symptoms likely “fit in”?
What are your goals for next session?
