Purpose for Evaluation:
The client is 19 years old from Kamuning Quezon City Philippines. The client is second
to the youngest from the six children of Mr. Kennedy and Susan De Leon. He is a
second year college student in Trinity University of Asia taking a Bachelor of Science in
Psychology. Single. Have fair complexion, brown eyes, 5’4” in tall and has masculine
physique. As my client I sought him to undergo from my guidance, psychotherapy
assessment, and counselling sessions to enlighten him about his condition and
behaviour because as his chief complaint, he is thinking that his endeavour in studying
is still not enough to achieve his aims and having lack of financial support from his
family in his studies and the pressure from social life as his other central conflicts that’s
affecting his major complain.
The client is not suffering from other remarkable diseases or illness. He is physically
fit and has an active lifestyle for having regular exercise especially body building and
taekwondo as his supplementary activity. He does not want to have commitment this
time to focus more in his studying and in building his career. He justify not having many
friends at school for being irregular student. He stated that he became lonely and feels
that he is the center of attention when he is by himself. Being an irregular student gives
him difficulty in studying sometimes and establishing good relationship among his other
classmates.
The client’s suffering from his chief complaint since last three (3) months, March of
this year. Sometimes his expectations from his venture gave him frustrations. He got
good grades from his previous subjects but still he thinks that this are not enough to
achieve his goals in his future life. As he sees in their family situation and status in life,
9. he engaged to work early on his young age in a firearms store in Quezon City to
support his needs and to help his family in financial problem.
The client is also complaining his father for its insufficient salary that leads of lack of
support from their needs. The client is close to his mother than to his father because he
often to talk and open-up some subject matters in life, about studying and having
bonding moments with his mother than to his father. Regarding to his siblings he have
a close-tie relationship among them.
As a previous assessment to the client he has a positive outlook in his life situation,
needs and to his self, moreover he has matured sense in handling/coping his problems
and complaints. That’s why as his case worker I ideally use Reality Therapy on our
sessions, in supporting him and resolving his complaints.
