Treatment interventions are those cognitive, affective, behavioral, and systemic counseling strategies, techniques, and methods that are specifically implemented in the context of a therapeutic relationship. They should reflect the specific needs of the client and demonstrate clinical efficacy in addressing the targeted concern. For the purposes of this course, you will need to find journal articles that specifically target crisis and trauma interventions demonstrating clinical application to each specific case study. Select interventions from journal articles published within the past five years to ensure use of the most up-to- date resources. For assistance, consider the following as an example of an appropriate and empirically validated intervention article for working with clients who have suffered from domestic violence: Binkley, E. (2013). Creative strategies for treating victims of domestic violence. Journal of Creativity in Mental Health, 8(3), 305–313. http://ezproxy.snhu.edu/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=sih&AN=90363425&site=eds-live&scope=siteCOU 680 Week Three Case Study: Deena Deena is a three-year-old Caucasian female who was brought into therapy by her foster mother, Jamie, as a result of extreme emotional outbursts and a struggle to connect. Deena was removed from her birth mother’s care at 18 months of age as a result of extreme abuse and neglect, and has now moved into her sixth foster home since entering foster care. She now lives with her foster mother, Jamie; foster father, Jesse; and their biological son, Max, age seven. Deena is presenting with an array of developmental, systemic, and relational deficits related to many of her unmet needs. Of particular concern are the delays related to language acquisition. History Deena was born in rural Alabama. Her single, 18-year-old Caucasian mother raised Deena alone after her boyfriend Lewis “hit the road” when he learned of the pregnancy. We know little about Deena’s first year of life, but do know that the Department of Human Services (DHS) initiated an investigation just after Deena’s first birthday. Although initial complaints of suspected abuse and neglect went unsubstantiated, a trip to the emergency room (ER) ultimately resulted in a DHS decision to remove Deena from her birth mother’s care. In the report it was disclosed that Deena’s birth mother had been routinely using sedatives in place of babysitters. Whenever Deena’s birth mother wanted to go out with friends, she administered sedatives to Deena, who would fall into a deep sleep while her mother “was out partying.” One morning, however, Deena did not wake. Terrified, her mother rushed Deena to the ER and revealed her strategy for “childcare.” In accordance with state child protection laws, the physicians immediately notified DHS. This incident, coupled with prior unsubstantiated abuse complaints, resulted in DHS immediately removing Deena from the home and placing her into foster care. Rather than fighting this action, Deena’s birth mother seemed relieved and did not contest the decision. Within six months, she voluntarily surrendered her parental rights. Deena arrived in her first foster home at 18 months of age and stayed less than a month. The first set of foster parents described Deena as inconsolable, highly emotional, and so “out of control” that they felt unequipped to provide adequate care for her. Over the course of the next 15 months, Deena would be placed in—and soon removed from—four additional foster homes. It was not until she lived with Jamie and Jesse that Deena experienced any consistency of care. Deena has now been with them for three months. Developmental Considerations From a developmental perspective, Deena manifested some delays, which were unsurprising given her life history. For example, in the context of psychosocial development, Deena struggled with the development of trust in herself and others, and she also exhibited low tolerance for frustration. Additionally, Deena displayed some cognitive deCOU 680 Week Three Intervention Paper Guidelines and Rubric Children in Crisis Overview: Selection of appropriate resources and interventions for clients who have experienced trauma or crisis involves consideration of biological, developmental, cultural, and spiritual factors. Your success in treating these clients will depend heavily on a comprehensive assessment of these factors and on matching an appropriate intervention to the client crisis or trauma experience and to the individual needs of your client. The first final project for this course is the creation of a trauma toolbox consisting of resources selected from counseling literature that you will use to support clients who experience symptoms of crisis and trauma. You will review different case studies throughout the course that will introduce you to how to work with different types of clients. This assignment represents the first of the case studies and involves identifying a treatment intervention that can be used when working with children who have experienced trauma. Note: You will also submit this assignment to your ePortfolio as part of your final project trauma toolbox in Week Nine. After receiving feedback, you will upload the paper, including tracked changes that show any revisions or corrections you made, for your final toolbox submission. This is required in order to receive credit for the final project. Prompt: Review the Week Three Case Study Deena document, and then address the following. Be sure to support your responses with research.  You should NOT use any of the provided weekly resources or the LAPC Model (except in Week Four) for your selected intervention. Instead, please use empirical research to locate an appropriate intervention specific to the case study. See the Clarification of Intervention document. You may use articles from the Mental Health Counseling Guide or from other sources, as long as the intervention is grounded in research. Write a paper that includes the following:  Provide a brief description of the intervention including: (1) to whom it can be applied (2) under what circumstances it can be applied (3) any limitations to the intervention that should be considered  Provide rationale for choosing the selected approach for the case study.  Include an explanation for why selecting that intervention will help your work with the selected case study client, and provide appropriate support.  Describe how the intervention can be used in future work when supporting the treatment approaches for clients.  Provide a link to the intervention within the body of the paper (or upload the PDF) so your instructor can easily identify and reference it. Ensure the link is active and accessible for review by your instructor. Note: If your selected intervention is not accessible, your submission will be returned to you. http://libguides.snhu.edu/counseling  Add the intervention to your ePortfolio.

Please do not copy and paste the description from the article—use your own words. Think of this like you are explaining it to your best friend. What does it do, how do you do it, and to whom would it apply? You also want to make sure you are looking for any limitations to the intervention noted in the article or important to consider. Most journal articles will have a limitations section or speak to any considerations you might want to think about before applying it. Others may not have this concretely stated, so you will need to do some analysis and consider to whom the intervention might not be applicable and why. A couple of limitations you are likely to see are that they are relatively new and untested or that they only apply to a specific group of people. Those are great things to consider when selecting an intervention and part of what I want you to get savvy at looking for.] Rationale [This section should center on why you have chosen this intervention for the case study. Why is it appropriate to the specific client? You want to use the details of the case study to help you justify the approach based on factors like diagnosis, culture, family dynamics, developmental influences, etc. Remember, the goal in any intervention is to choose one that will be most effective to the needs of the client. To that end, you will really want to consider and speak to the details of the case study and why they tie back to your chosen intervention in this section.] Explanation of Support [In this section you will speak to the actual application of the intervention to the case study client. What would it look like when applied to the client from the case study given the details of the article and the description above? This takes your rationale a step further and has you really think about what it would mean to put the case study client in the intervention. This step moves you from why it would be valuable (rationale) to how it would work.] Future Applications [This final section is designed to have you consider to whom or under what circumstances you might apply this intervention in the future. How might you use this tool in your toolbox to help you in future work? Can it apply to more than one type of issue or client? This is where you should consider expansion beyond the particular case study and speak to how you think you will use this intervention to help your future practice.] References [Include any references cited in your paper in full APA format.

Intervention Paper: Case Study of Denna Shannen Carambia Running head: CASE STUDY OF [TOPIC] 1 Southern New Hampshire University Rad Intervention Professor Student Institution Date Case Study of Deena Description of the Intervention I believe Deena is experiencingsuffering from reactive attachment disorder (RAD). As a result of this, she is believed to have the capacity in forming attachments though this particular ability has been prevented by dark past experiences. As a result, she may become resilient and so she might develop some healthy relationships. In this case, the early intervention will really help much. Comment by Imelda N. Bratton: Watch how you begin sentences, and when you notice that you start with the same wording then make sure to change how you begin the next sentence. This will improve flow of your work. Comment by Imelda N. Bratton: This word doesn’t fit the sentence structure. As is the case for many other cases of reactive attachment disorder, there will be no standard treatment for Deena (Boris & Renk, 2017). The treatment intervention will be there to ensure that Deena has a stable and safe condition. Another objective will be to help Deena develop positive interaction and end up strengthening attachment with the caregivers and the parents. Comment by Imelda N. Bratton: What does this mean? I am not sure what you mean by no standard treatment. There is never a standard treatment or one way to approach any disorder as many counsellors have their own viewpoint in selecting treatment interventions. Comment by Imelda N. Bratton: Does the intervention you selected do this? Comment by Imelda N. Bratton: APA requires three sentences to make a paragraph, so I added this to the previous paragraph. ThusThus, the interventions will include the address to the child housing, medical and safety needs if appropriate, offer an interactive, stimulating, and positive environment for Deena, offer those staying with her have a strong and stable attachment for Deena, and finally encourage Deena through caring, responsive guidance and nurturing (Boris & Renk, 2017). Comment by Imelda N. Bratton: Think about what this means? Make sure to provide a brief overview of the article here. In a way that is easily understood. Comment by Imelda N. Bratton: Does this intervention specifically work with the caregivers to develop these skills? Or is that a by-product of creating a supportive environment? Rationale Recently, the American Academy of the Child and the Aadolescent Ppsychiatry together with the American Ppsychiatric Aassociation have gone against the unproven and hazardous interventions for RADreactive attachment disorder.
