This intervention/treatment plan homework should build from the work you did in the bio-psycho-social-spiritual assessment homework.
Component I: Use Evidence to Guide Your Planning & Selecting Therapies and Interventions
Select two areas you identified in the bio-psycho-social-spiritual assessment homework (i.e., from your case formulation section). You will focus on these two areas in more depth.
Next, conduct a review of the literature and evidence base to learn more about potential therapies and interventions that can support change in the two problem areas you identified.
Use this review to guide your selection of theory, strategies, and/or techniques for each problem area.
Prepare an annotated bibliography of a minimum of five sources(use google scholar) that you used in your review. For each of the sources, include the reference citation and a brief summary of the key points from this source. The summaries should 1-2 paragraphs in length. Use the American Psychological Association 7th edition guidelines for citing references.
Component II: Discuss Therapies and Strategies/Interventions
In relation to the two problem areas identified,
1) Identify the overall goal of the client situation.
2) Discuss therapies, techniques, and strategies you might use in your work with the client guided by your review of the literature.
3) Detail the smaller steps involved in working toward the goal.
This component of the homework should be approximately 2 pages, single-spaced.
Component III: Create an Intervention/Treatment Chart for Each Area
You will create an intervention/treatment chart or table that includes the following information for each of the two areas identified:

Use the American Psychological Association 7th edition guidelines for citing references.
