TREATMENT PLANIntroductionFor this assignment, you will continue working with the
same client from the Client Assessment and Treatment Plan for whom you conducted a
biopsychosocial assessment in Week 7. Complete all components of the Treatment Plan
form, found in the Client Assessment and Treatment Plan media, for your client. When
details from the case are vague or missing, you are encouraged to elaborate and add to the
case to create a richer client picture.This assignment is intended to mimic the treatment
plan that you would develop for a client. It is a culmination of the work you began with your
previous assignments.A treatment plan is completed in the first few sessions with a client. It
is usually developed collaboratively with the client. The treatment plan outlines the
client’s diagnosis along with strategies and interventions for addressing the
diagnosis. It includes short- and long-term treatment goals that have been mutually agreed
upon by the counselor and the client. The treatment plan should be regularly revisited and
updated during the course of treatment. If you have never written or seen a treatment plan,
please research examples online. This assignment is not a traditional paper like you have
written in other courses. A few things to note:While you would not be citing professional
literature throughout a typical treatment plan, for this assignment, you should support your
statements with frequent references to peer-reviewed journal articles from the past 5
years.Provide APA formatted in-text citations and list all references used in the Reference
field of the form.Remember that your work for this assignment should be written primarily
in your own words. Avoid cutting and pasting information from the case into your report; it
is better to find a way to summarize this information in your own words.InstructionsTo
