    Evoking: “why would You go There?” 103

    person’s voluntary choice or change. Verbal efforts to encourage people to
    make particular choices are a mainstay, for example, in diabetes educa-
    tion, health promotion, politics, and probation, and there are many dif-
    ferent ways to do so.48 Advertising, sales, and marketing aim to influence
    what people want. A method unique to MI is the evoking task described in
    this chapter, selectively inviting and strengthening the person’s own change
    talk. By definition, this is not external motivation for change; it relies on
    and evokes the client’s own values and priorities. We do know from MI
    research that what you ask, reflect, affirm, and summarize matter. Con-
    sciously directional use of these OARS skills can increase clients’ change
    talk, which in turn is associated with actual choice and change.

    When, then, is it appropriate to use MI’s evoking skills to encourage
    choice or change in a particular direction? This decision begins during the
    focusing task in identifying the intended goals for change because you can-
    not know what change talk to evoke until you know the intended direction
    of change. A first and the most common reason for encouraging a particu-
    lar change is that it’s what the client has asked you to do. In this case, the
    person’s goals are in accord with your own, which is a precondition of a
    positive working alliance.49

    A second potential reason to favor a specific choice or change is that
    it is the announced purpose of the service in which you work, and which
    the client has entered voluntarily. Those walking through the doors of a
    weight-loss clinic assume that the focus is on weight reduction. Similarly,
    clients entering a smoking cessation clinic or an addiction treatment pro-
    gram will not be surprised that the topic of conversation is substance use.
    However, if the program only accepts particular goals (such as total life-
    long abstinence rather than harm reduction), this requirement should be
    made clear to clients from the outset. Similarly, pregnancy counseling set-
    tings should inform potential clients if certain outcomes (such as abortion)
    are not accepted there.

    A third potential reason to encourage movement in a particular direc-
    tion is the client’s imminent well-being. This involves clinical and ethical
    judgments about what constitutes wellness and what is in the person’s best
    interests. Workers on a suicide prevention hotline, for example, typically
    have a clear hope of encouraging callers away from impulsively taking their
    own lives. Health care practitioners hope to help their patients to regain
    and retain health.

    Finally, there are situations in which remaining neutral and not trying
    to influence the direction of change could be considered unethical or mal-
    practice. An obvious example is when a person’s behavior harms or endan-
    gers others as in domestic violence, alcohol- impaired driving, and sexual
    victimization. Those working in a smoking cessation or addiction treat-
    ment program are not doing their job if they aren’t working to diminish
    harmful substance use. Probation officers are seldom neutral about whether

    104 PraCTiCing Mi

    to favor departure from criminal behavior. The question is how best to
    encourage change if it is not the person’s initial intention. That is the actual
    context in which MI was first developed. The evoking task searches within
    clients to determine how change could be consistent with their own desires,
    hopes, and values.

    Should you perhaps first construct a decisional balance to determine
    whether the person’s pro- change motivations outweigh their counterchange
    motivations and only if so, then proceed to evoking? A complexity here is
    that conducting a decisional balance procedure with ambivalent people is
    not an inert intervention. It tends to reinforce ambivalence and decrease
    motivation for change. The act of observing or measuring can itself influ-
    ence what you are examining. Equally evoking pro- change and counter-
    change motivations when someone is ambivalent appears to tip the balance
    against change even if that is not your intention.50

    Decisions in the focusing task about the appropriate direction for
    choice and change are sometimes neither simple nor straightforward. Here
    are some recent ethically contentious examples on which people may differ
    passionately. Would you use MI to favor a particular choice or change in
    each of these situations? Why or why not?

    • Vaccination. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it was clear that vac-
    cination had potential life-or-death consequences, not only for individuals
    but for their family and those with whom they come into contact. MI was
    used to encourage COVID-19 vaccination and can be used to address vac-
    cine hesitancy more generally.51

    • Organ donation. Organ donation is an autonomous choice for the
    donor but a matter of life and death for the recipient of transplantation. If
    potential untoward effects for the donor are known, should MI be used to
    encourage organ donation to save a life?

    • Euthanasia. Should a terminally ill patient be encouraged to endure
    suffering and await natural causes of death, or should they be assisted in a
    chosen ending of life?

    • Harm reduction. Should a heroin user be helped to exchange used
    needles for clean syringes and engage in other safe- injection procedures?

    • Pregnancy counseling. Should a pregnant woman be persuaded to
    carry her child to term rather than choosing an abortion?

    • Contraception. Should a sexually active teenager be encouraged to
    use condoms?

    • Interrogation. If an incarcerated detainee has vital knowledge that
    could save the lives of others, what should be done to obtain such high-
    value information?52

    **Addictions Case Study: Part 1 – Case Conceptualization**

    **Assignment Instructions**

    **Overview**

    The
    **Addictions Case Study Assignment** is designed to help you make application of course content to a potential counseling situation. The assignment will be divided up into three parts:
    **Addictions Case Study: Part 1 – Case Conceptualization Assignment, Addictions Case Study: Part 2 – Diagnostic Impressions Assignment, and Addictions Case Study: Part 3 – Treatment Plan Assignment.**

    **General Paper Instructions**

    The general requirements for the paper are:

    · A medium-length paper (about a 7- to 9-page summary, not including the title and references pages –
    no abstract is needed).

    · This is to be formatted in the most current APA style.

    · Use a minimum of three journals, books, and our textbooks references, NOT websites!

    **Assignment Specific Instructions**

    For the
    **Addictions Case Study: Part 1 – Case Conceptualization Assignment**, using the
    **Addictions Case Study: Narrative** discussing Marci, you will begin to get your mind “wrapped around” what she is presenting to you through writing this conceptualization paper. Note that each bullet below is required to be a minimum of one paragraph! In your write-up, you will need to provide (review rubric for more detail):

    · In the first paragraph, write a short synopsis of this client, expounding on her presenting problem, substance history, and what issues you believe are most important to tackle.

    · Next, write out the substances that she is/has used (past and current). As you write each one, include the “normal” way they are used (e.g., smoking, injecting, etc.), what the general “addictive” effects are (e.g., feelings of euphoria, well-being, etc.), and any harmful side-effects they can produce (e.g., nausea, vomiting, etc.).

    · Then, look for any possible dangers to the client, and how would you try to remove the danger(s)? What “stage of change” is she in? (Refer to your textbook; students can also view
    **The Stages of Change** under
    **Addictions Case Study: Part 1 – Case Conceptualization Resources** for a good description of each stage of change).

    · Using the
    **Addictions Case Study: Narrative**, fill out and score the
    full **AUDIT The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test** questionnaire (10 questions) found under
    **Addictions Case Study: Part 1 – Case Conceptualization Resources.** THEN, in a good paragraph, briefly explain each item and score you chose that you believe Marci meets based on her narrative, and then using
    **AUDIT The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test** briefly explain what her total score means.

    · What in- or out-patient referrals as well as other resources would you want to put in place for this client (minimum of three,
    each separated as “bullet-points”)? Provide your reasoning with each one.

    · What questions would you have wanted to ask that did not get asked or shown in the case study narrative (minimum of two)?

    To assist in making sure that all sections/parts are submitted, divide your paper up as follows (starting on p. 2):

    **Title of Paper**

    **Brief Summary**

    **Past and Current Substances Used and their Effects**

    **Name of First Substance**

    **Name of Second Substance** _(continue on in the same manner if you spot more than two)_

    **Risks/Dangers for Client**

    **AUDIT Scores and Explanation**

    **Referrals/Resources/Recommendations**

    **Questions**

    **References**

    On the last page (or this can be attached or uploaded separately when you are submitting the paper), you will show an “Addictions Genogram” using the
    **Addictions Case Study: Part 1 – Case Conceptualization Genogram Drawing Template** provided or draw your own. It needs to show three levels of family (Marci & her siblings, her parents, and her grandparents). You can simply take a picture of it and upload it, or use this handy little app, to take a picture of your drawing with your camera phone, and turn your picture into a PDF, which makes it easier for uploading:

    **Explore: Cam Scanner App**, found under the
    **Learn** section.

    **An**
    **_Addictions Genogram_ is the same as the normal genogram used in families, but here, you**
    **actually**
    **_list the_ _substances_ that family members have used,**
    **_as well as_ the relationships you may see.**
    **A short example is shown here:**

    **Frank**

    **Frank, 40yo; started drinking at 14yo; experimented w/ barbiturates & meth; 7 yrs of drinking beer 5+/day; daily heroin use for last 4 yrs; 15 yrs of cannabis use; Rx for Ritalin at 11yo for ADHD, Xanax at 18yo for depression & anxiety**

    ****Peggy****

    **\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/**

    ****Susie****

    **As with normal Genograms, you will want to show names, ages, who is deceased, etc., of any information you can glean from the narrative. If you need a reminder of the symbols, you can view**
    ****Standard Symbols for Genograms** found under**
    ****Addictions Case Study: Part 1 – Case Conceptualization Resources**.**

    **IMPORTANT: Your genogram drawing must have all THREE parts to receive full points: 1) three levels of family (Marci & her siblings, her parents, and her grandparents); 2) showing the types of relationship symbols you see between family members; and 3) listing the substances that family members have used/are used beside their name based on the narrative.**

    **Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.**

    **Week 3**

    **Week 3 Announcement**

    It's hard to believe we are already beginning the third week of class.

    **\*\*\*\* Note: I encourage you to print out this message and refer to the highlighted points below when working**
    **on your first assignment.**

    Module/Week 3 will assist you in understanding how alcohol is processed by the body and the behavioral effects that result. The role of Alcoholics Anonymous  in promoting the disease model of alcohol dependence will be explored along with genetic influences on the risk of developing alcohol dependence. The process of focusing in Motivational Interviewing (MI) to include the general counseling styles of directing, guiding, and following will be explored. The readings will also assist you in understanding how marijuana is processed by the body and the behavioral, physiological, and psychological effects that result. There will also be a discussion of the relationship between marijuana, cannabis, and THC. You will be able to apply the ethical considerations of nonmaleficence, beneficence, autonomy, and justice to counseling situations.

    The process of focusing in Motivational Interviewing (MI) to include the general counseling styles of
    _directing_,
    _guiding_, and
    _following_ will be explored.  The use of agenda mapping in MI will also be examined.  Additionally, ethical guidelines for the practice of Motivational Interviewing (MI) will be explored. The processes of providing
    _information_,
    _giving advice_, and
    _using self-disclosure_ with MI will also be examined.

    Review your assignments due this week.

    Evoking: “why would You go There?” 103

    person’s voluntary choice or change. Verbal efforts to encourage people to
    make particular choices are a mainstay, for example, in diabetes educa-
    tion, health promotion, politics, and probation, and there are many dif-
    ferent ways to do so.48 Advertising, sales, and marketing aim to influence
    what people want. A method unique to MI is the evoking task described in
    this chapter, selectively inviting and strengthening the person’s own change
    talk. By definition, this is not external motivation for change; it relies on
    and evokes the client’s own values and priorities. We do know from MI
    research that what you ask, reflect, affirm, and summarize matter. Con-
    sciously directional use of these OARS skills can increase clients’ change
    talk, which in turn is associated with actual choice and change.

    When, then, is it appropriate to use MI’s evoking skills to encourage
    choice or change in a particular direction? This decision begins during the
    focusing task in identifying the intended goals for change because you can-
    not know what change talk to evoke until you know the intended direction
    of change. A first and the most common reason for encouraging a particu-
    lar change is that it’s what the client has asked you to do. In this case, the
    person’s goals are in accord with your own, which is a precondition of a
    positive working alliance.49

    A second potential reason to favor a specific choice or change is that
    it is the announced purpose of the service in which you work, and which
    the client has entered voluntarily. Those walking through the doors of a
    weight-loss clinic assume that the focus is on weight reduction. Similarly,
    clients entering a smoking cessation clinic or an addiction treatment pro-
    gram will not be surprised that the topic of conversation is substance use.
    However, if the program only accepts particular goals (such as total life-
    long abstinence rather than harm reduction), this requirement should be
    made clear to clients from the outset. Similarly, pregnancy counseling set-
    tings should inform potential clients if certain outcomes (such as abortion)
    are not accepted there.

    A third potential reason to encourage movement in a particular direc-
    tion is the client’s imminent well-being. This involves clinical and ethical
    judgments about what constitutes wellness and what is in the person’s best
    interests. Workers on a suicide prevention hotline, for example, typically
    have a clear hope of encouraging callers away from impulsively taking their
    own lives. Health care practitioners hope to help their patients to regain
    and retain health.

    Finally, there are situations in which remaining neutral and not trying
    to influence the direction of change could be considered unethical or mal-
    practice. An obvious example is when a person’s behavior harms or endan-
    gers others as in domestic violence, alcohol- impaired driving, and sexual
    victimization. Those working in a smoking cessation or addiction treat-
    ment program are not doing their job if they aren’t working to diminish
    harmful substance use. Probation officers are seldom neutral about whether

    104 PraCTiCing Mi

    to favor departure from criminal behavior. The question is how best to
    encourage change if it is not the person’s initial intention. That is the actual
    context in which MI was first developed. The evoking task searches within
    clients to determine how change could be consistent with their own desires,
    hopes, and values.

    Should you perhaps first construct a decisional balance to determine
    whether the person’s pro- change motivations outweigh their counterchange
    motivations and only if so, then proceed to evoking? A complexity here is
    that conducting a decisional balance procedure with ambivalent people is
    not an inert intervention. It tends to reinforce ambivalence and decrease
    motivation for change. The act of observing or measuring can itself influ-
    ence what you are examining. Equally evoking pro- change and counter-
    change motivations when someone is ambivalent appears to tip the balance
    against change even if that is not your intention.50

    Decisions in the focusing task about the appropriate direction for
    choice and change are sometimes neither simple nor straightforward. Here
    are some recent ethically contentious examples on which people may differ
    passionately. Would you use MI to favor a particular choice or change in
    each of these situations? Why or why not?

    • Vaccination. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it was clear that vac-
    cination had potential life-or-death consequences, not only for individuals
    but for their family and those with whom they come into contact. MI was
    used to encourage COVID-19 vaccination and can be used to address vac-
    cine hesitancy more generally.51

    • Organ donation. Organ donation is an autonomous choice for the
    donor but a matter of life and death for the recipient of transplantation. If
    potential untoward effects for the donor are known, should MI be used to
    encourage organ donation to save a life?

    • Euthanasia. Should a terminally ill patient be encouraged to endure
    suffering and await natural causes of death, or should they be assisted in a
    chosen ending of life?

    • Harm reduction. Should a heroin user be helped to exchange used
    needles for clean syringes and engage in other safe- injection procedures?

    • Pregnancy counseling. Should a pregnant woman be persuaded to
    carry her child to term rather than choosing an abortion?

    • Contraception. Should a sexually active teenager be encouraged to
    use condoms?

    • Interrogation. If an incarcerated detainee has vital knowledge that
    could save the lives of others, what should be done to obtain such high-
    value information?52

    EDCO 740

    **Addictions Case Study: Part 1 – Case Conceptualization**

    **Assignment Instructions**

    **Overview**

    The
    **Addictions Case Study Assignment** is designed to help you make application of course content to a potential counseling situation. The assignment will be divided up into three parts:
    **Addictions Case Study: Part 1 – Case Conceptualization Assignment, Addictions Case Study: Part 2 – Diagnostic Impressions Assignment, and Addictions Case Study: Part 3 – Treatment Plan Assignment.**

    **General Paper Instructions**

    The general requirements for the paper are:

    · A medium-length paper (about a 7- to 9-page summary, not including the title and references pages –
    no abstract is needed).

    · This is to be formatted in the most current APA style.

    · Use a minimum of three journals, books, and our textbooks references, NOT websites!

    **Assignment Specific Instructions**

    For the
    **Addictions Case Study: Part 1 – Case Conceptualization Assignment**, using the
    **Addictions Case Study: Narrative** discussing Marci, you will begin to get your mind “wrapped around” what she is presenting to you through writing this conceptualization paper. Note that each bullet below is required to be a minimum of one paragraph! In your write-up, you will need to provide (review rubric for more detail):

    · In the first paragraph, write a short synopsis of this client, expounding on her presenting problem, substance history, and what issues you believe are most important to tackle.

    · Next, write out the substances that she is/has used (past and current). As you write each one, include the “normal” way they are used (e.g., smoking, injecting, etc.), what the general “addictive” effects are (e.g., feelings of euphoria, well-being, etc.), and any harmful side-effects they can produce (e.g., nausea, vomiting, etc.).

    · Then, look for any possible dangers to the client, and how would you try to remove the danger(s)? What “stage of change” is she in? (Refer to your textbook; students can also view
    **The Stages of Change** under
    **Addictions Case Study: Part 1 – Case Conceptualization Resources** for a good description of each stage of change).

    · Using the
    **Addictions Case Study: Narrative**, fill out and score the
    full **AUDIT The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test** questionnaire (10 questions) found under
    **Addictions Case Study: Part 1 – Case Conceptualization Resources.** THEN, in a good paragraph, briefly explain each item and score you chose that you believe Marci meets based on her narrative, and then using
    **AUDIT The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test** briefly explain what her total score means.

    · What in- or out-patient referrals as well as other resources would you want to put in place for this client (minimum of three,
    each separated as “bullet-points”)? Provide your reasoning with each one.

    · What questions would you have wanted to ask that did not get asked or shown in the case study narrative (minimum of two)?

    To assist in making sure that all sections/parts are submitted, divide your paper up as follows (starting on p. 2):

    **Title of Paper**

    **Brief Summary**

    **Past and Current Substances Used and their Effects**

    **Name of First Substance**

    **Name of Second Substance** _(continue on in the same manner if you spot more than two)_

    **Risks/Dangers for Client**

    **AUDIT Scores and Explanation**

    **Referrals/Resources/Recommendations**

    **Questions**

    **References**

    On the last page (or this can be attached or uploaded separately when you are submitting the paper), you will show an “Addictions Genogram” using the
    **Addictions Case Study: Part 1 – Case Conceptualization Genogram Drawing Template** provided or draw your own. It needs to show three levels of family (Marci & her siblings, her parents, and her grandparents). You can simply take a picture of it and upload it, or use this handy little app, to take a picture of your drawing with your camera phone, and turn your picture into a PDF, which makes it easier for uploading:

    **Explore: Cam Scanner App**, found under the
    **Learn** section.

    **An**
    **_Addictions Genogram_ is the same as the normal genogram used in families, but here, you**
    **actually**
    **_list the_ _substances_ that family members have used,**
    **_as well as_ the relationships you may see.**
    **A short example is shown here:**

    **Frank**

    **Frank, 40yo; started drinking at 14yo; experimented w/ barbiturates & meth; 7 yrs of drinking beer 5+/day; daily heroin use for last 4 yrs; 15 yrs of cannabis use; Rx for Ritalin at 11yo for ADHD, Xanax at 18yo for depression & anxiety**

    ****Peggy****

    **\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/**

    ****Susie****

    **As with normal Genograms, you will want to show names, ages, who is deceased, etc., of any information you can glean from the narrative. If you need a reminder of the symbols, you can view**
    ****Standard Symbols for Genograms** found under**
    ****Addictions Case Study: Part 1 – Case Conceptualization Resources**.**

    **IMPORTANT: Your genogram drawing must have all THREE parts to receive full points: 1) three levels of family (Marci & her siblings, her parents, and her grandparents); 2) showing the types of relationship symbols you see between family members; and 3) listing the substances that family members have used/are used beside their name based on the narrative.**

    **Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.**

    **Week 3**

    **Week 3 Announcement**

    It's hard to believe we are already beginning the third week of class.

    **\*\*\*\* Note: I encourage you to print out this message and refer to the highlighted points below when working**
    **on your first assignment.**

    Module/Week 3 will assist you in understanding how alcohol is processed by the body and the behavioral effects that result. The role of Alcoholics Anonymous  in promoting the disease model of alcohol dependence will be explored along with genetic influences on the risk of developing alcohol dependence. The process of focusing in Motivational Interviewing (MI) to include the general counseling styles of directing, guiding, and following will be explored. The readings will also assist you in understanding how marijuana is processed by the body and the behavioral, physiological, and psychological effects that result. There will also be a discussion of the relationship between marijuana, cannabis, and THC. You will be able to apply the ethical considerations of nonmaleficence, beneficence, autonomy, and justice to counseling situations.

    The process of focusing in Motivational Interviewing (MI) to include the general counseling styles of
    _directing_,
    _guiding_, and
    _following_ will be explored.  The use of agenda mapping in MI will also be examined.  Additionally, ethical guidelines for the practice of Motivational Interviewing (MI) will be explored. The processes of providing
    _information_,
    _giving advice_, and
    _using self-disclosure_ with MI will also be examined.

    Evoking: “why would You go There?” 103

    person’s voluntary choice or change. Verbal efforts to encourage people to
    make particular choices are a mainstay, for example, in diabetes educa-
    tion, health promotion, politics, and probation, and there are many dif-
    ferent ways to do so.48 Advertising, sales, and marketing aim to influence
    what people want. A method unique to MI is the evoking task described in
    this chapter, selectively inviting and strengthening the person’s own change
    talk. By definition, this is not external motivation for change; it relies on
    and evokes the client’s own values and priorities. We do know from MI
    research that what you ask, reflect, affirm, and summarize matter. Con-
    sciously directional use of these OARS skills can increase clients’ change
    talk, which in turn is associated with actual choice and change.

    When, then, is it appropriate to use MI’s evoking skills to encourage
    choice or change in a particular direction? This decision begins during the
    focusing task in identifying the intended goals for change because you can-
    not know what change talk to evoke until you know the intended direction
    of change. A first and the most common reason for encouraging a particu-
    lar change is that it’s what the client has asked you to do. In this case, the
    person’s goals are in accord with your own, which is a precondition of a
    positive working alliance.49

    A second potential reason to favor a specific choice or change is that
    it is the announced purpose of the service in which you work, and which
    the client has entered voluntarily. Those walking through the doors of a
    weight-loss clinic assume that the focus is on weight reduction. Similarly,
    clients entering a smoking cessation clinic or an addiction treatment pro-
    gram will not be surprised that the topic of conversation is substance use.
    However, if the program only accepts particular goals (such as total life-
    long abstinence rather than harm reduction), this requirement should be
    made clear to clients from the outset. Similarly, pregnancy counseling set-
    tings should inform potential clients if certain outcomes (such as abortion)
    are not accepted there.

    A third potential reason to encourage movement in a particular direc-
    tion is the client’s imminent well-being. This involves clinical and ethical
    judgments about what constitutes wellness and what is in the person’s best
    interests. Workers on a suicide prevention hotline, for example, typically
    have a clear hope of encouraging callers away from impulsively taking their
    own lives. Health care practitioners hope to help their patients to regain
    and retain health.

    Finally, there are situations in which remaining neutral and not trying
    to influence the direction of change could be considered unethical or mal-
    practice. An obvious example is when a person’s behavior harms or endan-
    gers others as in domestic violence, alcohol- impaired driving, and sexual
    victimization. Those working in a smoking cessation or addiction treat-
    ment program are not doing their job if they aren’t working to diminish
    harmful substance use. Probation officers are seldom neutral about whether

    104 PraCTiCing Mi

    to favor departure from criminal behavior. The question is how best to
    encourage change if it is not the person’s initial intention. That is the actual
    context in which MI was first developed. The evoking task searches within
    clients to determine how change could be consistent with their own desires,
    hopes, and values.

    Should you perhaps first construct a decisional balance to determine
    whether the person’s pro- change motivations outweigh their counterchange
    motivations and only if so, then proceed to evoking? A complexity here is
    that conducting a decisional balance procedure with ambivalent people is
    not an inert intervention. It tends to reinforce ambivalence and decrease
    motivation for change. The act of observing or measuring can itself influ-
    ence what you are examining. Equally evoking pro- change and counter-
    change motivations when someone is ambivalent appears to tip the balance
    against change even if that is not your intention.50

    Decisions in the focusing task about the appropriate direction for
    choice and change are sometimes neither simple nor straightforward. Here
    are some recent ethically contentious examples on which people may differ
    passionately. Would you use MI to favor a particular choice or change in
    each of these situations? Why or why not?

    • Vaccination. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it was clear that vac-
    cination had potential life-or-death consequences, not only for individuals
    but for their family and those with whom they come into contact. MI was
    used to encourage COVID-19 vaccination and can be used to address vac-
    cine hesitancy more generally.51

    • Organ donation. Organ donation is an autonomous choice for the
    donor but a matter of life and death for the recipient of transplantation. If
    potential untoward effects for the donor are known, should MI be used to
    encourage organ donation to save a life?

    • Euthanasia. Should a terminally ill patient be encouraged to endure
    suffering and await natural causes of death, or should they be assisted in a
    chosen ending of life?

    • Harm reduction. Should a heroin user be helped to exchange used
    needles for clean syringes and engage in other safe- injection procedures?

    • Pregnancy counseling. Should a pregnant woman be persuaded to
    carry her child to term rather than choosing an abortion?

    • Contraception. Should a sexually active teenager be encouraged to
    use condoms?

    • Interrogation. If an incarcerated detainee has vital knowledge that
    could save the lives of others, what should be done to obtain such high-
    value information?52

    EDCO 740

    **Addictions Case Study: Part 1 – Case Conceptualization**

    **Assignment Instructions**

    **Overview**

    The
    **Addictions Case Study Assignment** is designed to help you make application of course content to a potential counseling situation. The assignment will be divided up into three parts:
    **Addictions Case Study: Part 1 – Case Conceptualization Assignment, Addictions Case Study: Part 2 – Diagnostic Impressions Assignment, and Addictions Case Study: Part 3 – Treatment Plan Assignment.**

    **General Paper Instructions**

    The general requirements for the paper are:

    · A medium-length paper (about a 7- to 9-page summary, not including the title and references pages –
    no abstract is needed).

    · This is to be formatted in the most current APA style.

    · Use a minimum of three journals, books, and our textbooks references, NOT websites!

    **Assignment Specific Instructions**

    For the
    **Addictions Case Study: Part 1 – Case Conceptualization Assignment**, using the
    **Addictions Case Study: Narrative** discussing Marci, you will begin to get your mind “wrapped around” what she is presenting to you through writing this conceptualization paper. Note that each bullet below is required to be a minimum of one paragraph! In your write-up, you will need to provide (review rubric for more detail):

    · In the first paragraph, write a short synopsis of this client, expounding on her presenting problem, substance history, and what issues you believe are most important to tackle.

    · Next, write out the substances that she is/has used (past and current). As you write each one, include the “normal” way they are used (e.g., smoking, injecting, etc.), what the general “addictive” effects are (e.g., feelings of euphoria, well-being, etc.), and any harmful side-effects they can produce (e.g., nausea, vomiting, etc.).

    · Then, look for any possible dangers to the client, and how would you try to remove the danger(s)? What “stage of change” is she in? (Refer to your textbook; students can also view
    **The Stages of Change** under
    **Addictions Case Study: Part 1 – Case Conceptualization Resources** for a good description of each stage of change).

    · Using the
    **Addictions Case Study: Narrative**, fill out and score the
    full **AUDIT The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test** questionnaire (10 questions) found under
    **Addictions Case Study: Part 1 – Case Conceptualization Resources.** THEN, in a good paragraph, briefly explain each item and score you chose that you believe Marci meets based on her narrative, and then using
    **AUDIT The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test** briefly explain what her total score means.

    · What in- or out-patient referrals as well as other resources would you want to put in place for this client (minimum of three,
    each separated as “bullet-points”)? Provide your reasoning with each one.

    · What questions would you have wanted to ask that did not get asked or shown in the case study narrative (minimum of two)?

    To assist in making sure that all sections/parts are submitted, divide your paper up as follows (starting on p. 2):

    **Title of Paper**

    **Brief Summary**

    **Past and Current Substances Used and their Effects**

    **Name of First Substance**

    **Name of Second Substance** _(continue on in the same manner if you spot more than two)_

    **Risks/Dangers for Client**

    **AUDIT Scores and Explanation**

    **Referrals/Resources/Recommendations**

    **Questions**

    **References**

    On the last page (or this can be attached or uploaded separately when you are submitting the paper), you will show an “Addictions Genogram” using the
    **Addictions Case Study: Part 1 – Case Conceptualization Genogram Drawing Template** provided or draw your own. It needs to show three levels of family (Marci & her siblings, her parents, and her grandparents). You can simply take a picture of it and upload it, or use this handy little app, to take a picture of your drawing with your camera phone, and turn your picture into a PDF, which makes it easier for uploading:

    **Explore: Cam Scanner App**, found under the
    **Learn** section.

    **An**
    **_Addictions Genogram_ is the same as the normal genogram used in families, but here, you**
    **actually**
    **_list the_ _substances_ that family members have used,**
    **_as well as_ the relationships you may see.**
    **A short example is shown here:**

    **Frank**

    **Frank, 40yo; started drinking at 14yo; experimented w/ barbiturates & meth; 7 yrs of drinking beer 5+/day; daily heroin use for last 4 yrs; 15 yrs of cannabis use; Rx for Ritalin at 11yo for ADHD, Xanax at 18yo for depression & anxiety**

    ****Peggy****

    **\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/**

    ****Susie****

    **As with normal Genograms, you will want to show names, ages, who is deceased, etc., of any information you can glean from the narrative. If you need a reminder of the symbols, you can view**
    ****Standard Symbols for Genograms** found under**
    ****Addictions Case Study: Part 1 – Case Conceptualization Resources**.**

    **IMPORTANT: Your genogram drawing must have all THREE parts to receive full points: 1) three levels of family (Marci & her siblings, her parents, and her grandparents); 2) showing the types of relationship symbols you see between family members; and 3) listing the substances that family members have used/are used beside their name based on the narrative.**

    **Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.**

    **Week 3**

    **Week 3 Announcement**

    It's hard to believe we are already beginning the third week of class.

    **\*\*\*\* Note: I encourage you to print out this message and refer to the highlighted points below when working**
    **on your first assignment.**

    Module/Week 3 will assist you in understanding how alcohol is processed by the body and the behavioral effects that result. The role of Alcoholics Anonymous  in promoting the disease model of alcohol dependence will be explored along with genetic influences on the risk of developing alcohol dependence. The process of focusing in Motivational Interviewing (MI) to include the general counseling styles of directing, guiding, and following will be explored. The readings will also assist you in understanding how marijuana is processed by the body and the behavioral, physiological, and psychological effects that result. There will also be a discussion of the relationship between marijuana, cannabis, and THC. You will be able to apply the ethical considerations of nonmaleficence, beneficence, autonomy, and justice to counseling situations.

    The process of focusing in Motivational Interviewing (MI) to include the general counseling styles of
    _directing_,
    _guiding_, and
    _following_ will be explored.  The use of agenda mapping in MI will also be examined.  Additionally, ethical guidelines for the practice of Motivational Interviewing (MI) will be explored. The processes of providing
    _information_,
    _giving advice_, and
    _using self-disclosure_ with MI will also be examined.

    Review your assignments due this week.

    Assignment Prompt & Instructions

    In your response to Benita and Kristy post, address the following:

    Compare the scaling challenges that you have chosen to the choices of your peers. Explain the importance of communication style and work collaboration processes in overcoming these challenges.

    Do you agree with the characteristics of managers identified by your peers? Justify your view.

    Benita Post

    My name is Benita. I am an MBA candidate focusing on operations and supply chain management. I also love what I do as a strategic program manager for a major telecom provider and one of the Big 4 here in Philly. When I’m not solving problems, creating culture and rocking it as a PM, you can find me reading, vibing to music, or building Lego models with my wife, Natalie. My life is pretty predictable, and that is by design.

         Change is not easy, but it’s necessary for growth. As someone in corporate spaces where I am consistently preparing for or coaching people through situations that require change, I hope to learn more about effective ways to address the organization and its stakeholders about issues, the art of addressing resistance and challengers to organizational change, and how to maintain positive team moral when working through an organizational change.

        Forbes (2022) describes scaling or scalability as “the ability of a company to increase its qualitatively constant output or revenue without the input resources or costs increasing to the same extent.”  As an organization is looking to increase or grow its output or revenue, one key challenge it may come across is having inefficiencies in production or operations and not addressing these inefficiencies prior to expanding and adding more pressure (Francis, 2025). Another challenge that may be a factor is the speed at which the organization decides to scale. Scaling too fast can cause inefficiencies and unhappy stakeholders. If an organization decides to take their time, they are at risk of losing demand to its competitors.

        Middle managers are truly the neck of any operation. Supervisors, team leaders, and managers typically have the buy-in of their team and should know how to motivate each employee through any change, to get things done. They are also privy to each employees’ strengths and talents, making it so that building a diverse team with a remarkable skill set is part of their arsenal.

    I have seen and learned over time that the characteristics middle managers and team leaders should have to support a growing organization are highly effective communication skills, resilience, and attention to detail. These characteristics are key to delivering strategies, handling setbacks and stress in a highly stressful situation, and having the ability to address all elements of work, keeping focus on the organization’s goal and mission.

    Kristy Post

    My name is Kristy Rapp, and I am a licensed mental health counselor currently working as the Director of Quality Improvement for a small health plan in Massachusetts that primarily serves Medicaid members. Our plan operates in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire and, in addition to Medicaid, offers Exchange and Medicare lines of business. This course is particularly timely, as we recently insourced behavioral health services from a long-term vendor, and managing this expansion of day-to-day operations has presented several change management challenges. I believe this course will help me become more intentional about navigating change and better supporting my team through periods of growth.

    One key challenge an organization faces when scaling is maintaining operational efficiency and consistent performance. As organizations grow, informal processes that once worked well often become insufficient. According to Greiner (1998), organizational growth introduces predictable periods of crisis that require changes in structure, leadership, and coordination. Without formal systems and clear role definitions, scaling can lead to inefficiencies, miscommunication, and declining performance.

    A second challenge organizations encounter during growth is preserving organizational culture. Rapid expansion often requires onboarding new employees quickly, which can dilute shared values and norms if leadership is not intentional. Research by Klein et al. (2013) suggests that leadership behavior strongly influences organizational culture and overall effectiveness. When leaders fail to reinforce values consistently during periods of change, employee engagement and alignment may suffer.

    Middle managers and team leaders play a critical role in navigating these challenges. They serve as the connection between executive leadership and frontline employees, translating strategic goals into daily actions while providing feedback upward. During growth, middle managers help stabilize teams by clarifying expectations, reinforcing cultural norms, and managing performance across expanding teams (Greiner, 1998).

    To effectively support a growing organization, middle managers and team leaders should demonstrate strong communication skills, adaptability, and leadership awareness. Klein et al. (2013) emphasizes that effective leaders influence culture through their behaviors, decision-making, and interactions with employees. Additionally, middle managers must be capable of guiding teams through change, addressing uncertainty, and maintaining accountability as organizational complexity increases.

    Overall, organizational growth presents both opportunities and challenges. By recognizing the predictable issues associated with scaling and empowering capable middle managers, organizations can sustain performance and culture throughout the growth process.

    Trauma and its affect on thoughts regarding distress as well as engagement with multiple treatment system have major impact on victimology and child safety practice. Survivors of incident are inclined to postpone disclosing or misjudge the seriousness of crime various reasons. There are certain factors that reveals why victim is not able to maintain (Child Welfare Information, 2020). This aspect cannot be accountable in terms of a lie but consider as a sign of fear and stress related to the crime incident. It has been observed that trauma especially the case related to child safety repeated at a very tender age. This trauma impacts on the emotional control, attachment to caregivers, learning abilities and trust to children (Child Welfare Information, 2020). Through understanding the nature of trauma, the counselors can identify the reason behind the behavior of child help them not to recognize in form of behavior problem or as obstinate delinquency.

    Those professionals associated to child welfare fully aware of the fact that trauma is not only links to child but also leave its impact family members and caregivers who also went through victimization.  The majority of parents in the child welfare system have their unresolved trauma, and they have corresponding problems related to the interaction with the authority figures which influence their capacity to parent and make decisions related to parenting (Middleton et al., 2019). It is true that acknowledgment of trauma in children often ignore parents and caretaker (Simard et al., 2025). Then there is possibility that interventions increase the aspect of fear and depression in the family which dissuade them to have link with child welfare system. Through trauma-informed care, professionals can consider the attitude of children and their families in a way which foster stability rather than repetition of harm perpetuated.

    Trauma-informed when applied to child welfare is the inclusion of trauma awareness into child welfare system policies, practices, and services delivered to children and their families. It does not just acknowledge the fact that trauma is common all through the life of children and families, but it also undertakes to prevent those practices that can re-traumatize them(Middleton et al., 2019). Some of these examples are the creation of consistent environments, respectful and open communication and involvement of families in planning and decision making. Employees are taught to identify trauma responses and react to them compassionately with the safety and responsibility of the child being their priority.It is crucial to opt trauma-informed approach where screening and assessment of children carry out to know past trauma and its impact in present time (Lotty, Kearns & Frederico, 2025). According to the needs of children, the services personalized for mental and emotional development. Children are assisted to develop resiliency, social supports, and evidence-based practices to overcome their stresses associated with trauma. It is also important to recognize that cultural factors contribute in trauma of children.

    Self-care is essential among the people who undertake child protection services. Deliberate, intentional strategies can assist a child protection worker to be healthy: Emotional boundaries have to be established; regular supervision must be engaged in; and trauma processing opportunity should be permitted. Emotional boundaries are required to be checked to determine physical health (Middleton et al., 2019). The supportive relationship requires to build perspective and balance.Professionals must have ability to identify symptoms associated to stress, fatigue, and irritation help provide relevant assistance. Child welfare professionals will be more able to be effective, ethical, and emotionally available to their role as child welfare professionals working with at-risk children and families because they will be intentional and focused on their self-care and wellness.
