Develop a vignette and researched-based treatment plan of someone experiencing symptoms related to relational violence. In your discussion of the case:

  • compare and contrast the different forms of relational violence and the implications for treatment and how it relates to your client;
  • assess various responses to trauma as it pertains to relational violence from the resilience, recovery, and medical models;
  • integrate the process of recovery with community-based resources for support for your proposed case, for example Victims of Violent Crimes and various other support groups.

Provide a clinical summary that includes the presenting problem, trauma event(s) symptom profile, diagnosis and relevant history and background information of the “client” presenting for therapy. Your summary information should be consistent with known research on the effects and impact of trauma, common symptom expression and interpersonal difficulties.

Develop and formulate a comprehensive, inter-disciplinary treatment plan where you integrate the process of recovery with community-based resources for support for your proposed case, for example Victims of Violent Crimes and various other support groups to address your client’s presenting problem.

Use a traditional format that includes problem statements, goals, specific objectives and appropriate interventions, including relevant referrals. Include a minimum of two problems, 3-4 objectives and 3-5 interventions for each defined problem. Remember to use SMART criteria when developing your objectives (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-limited).

Lastly, support your choice of goals, objectives and interventions with empirical evidence from at least two relevant resources specific to trauma therapy techniques and recovery tasks. Explain how the chosen interventions specifically aid in trauma recovery.

Write your clinical summary in a paper that will be a minimum of 5 pages excluding cover and reference pages. Cite your references in APA format. Include a cover page. You will be graded on content, form, thoroughness and quality of writing.

After assessing Noni’s case, her mental health state needs to be stable. However, this can only be achieved by ensuring that the patient gets trauma-care, which addresses the PSTD problem. Moreover, Noni presented harmful behavioral coping mechanisms by using alcohol as a stress reliever. The coping mechanism has adverse health effects that could worsen Noni’s initial PSTD problem. Additionally, the aspect of safety lacks in Noni’s abusive relationship, thus increasing her feeling of insecurity, thus triggering more stress. Solving these problems will require an interdisciplinary treatment plan. In this case, working with community agencies would make it easier to administer treatment with constant patient monitoring. Hence, ensuring Noni’s safety during and after the treatment and recovery process will require involving a community organization to provide shelter to IPV victims.
