Goal setting is dependent upon the individual assessment. I would associate it as a relationship between a dependent and an independent variable. The independent variable would be the individual assessment and the dependent variable would be the goal setting. An example of this may be someone who has issues of anger management but was not considered to be mentally ill. In the assessment the client demonstrated behavior associated with anger and impulse control but failed to meet the criteria for mental illness. The appropriate intervention would be based on the assessment while all the time keeping the goal setting in mind. The assessment determines the intervention and the intervention is the vessel or mechanism to achieve the client's goal.
We want the client to have a sense of direction and feel empowered by that. What are some of the other impacts that having a sense of direction may have on the client? Thoughts everyone?
