This week, your theoretical orientation is cognitive behavior theory. You will use the same case study that you chose in Week 2 and have been analyzing in this course. Use the Analysis of a Theory worksheet to help you dissect the theory. You do not need to submit this handout. It is a tool for you to use to dissect the theory and then you can employ the information in the table to complete your assignment. In this Assignment, you write a 5-minute speech . It is common to present a case analysis in multidisciplinary team meetings or with your supervisor and colleagues. This assignment offers you an opportunity to provide insights and perspectives to a case. Resources Be sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity.

Case study attached separately. · Use the Analysis of a Theory Worksheet to help you dissect the theory. Use this tool to dissect the theory, employ the information in the table to complete your Assignment, and then keep it to add to your Theories Study Guide in Week 11. · Read this article listed in the Learning Resources: González-Prendes, A. A., & Thomas, S. A. (2009). Culturally sensitive treatment of anger in African American women: A single case study. Clinical Case Studies, 8(5), 383–402. https://doi.org/10.1177/1534650109345004 · Note: This article provides an appropriate framework for how the authors’ cognitive-behavioral theoretical orientation shaped the conceptualization of the case and assessment and intervention. By Day 7 · Note: Your oral speech should be no longer than 5 minutes. · Also Note: This Assignment is an entirely oral—there is no PowerPoint element to this presentation. Imagine that you are discussing your case with a group of peers in a meeting. For example, if you stumble a bit, don’t feel you have to record yourself again. · Your assignment should include. · In 1–2 sentences, identify and describe the presenting problem. · In 1–2 sentences, briefly define and conceptualize the problem from a cognitive-behavioral theoretical orientation. · Formulate two assessment questions that you will ask the client to better understand the client’s problem. Remember, the assessment questions should be guided by cognitive-behavioral theory. · In 1–2 sentences, identify two goals for treatment. Again, remember, the goals should be consistent with cognitive-behavioral theory. · In 1–2 sentences, describe the treatment plan from a cognitive-behavioral theoretical orientation. Remember, the treatment plan should align with the goal(s) for work. · Discuss one outcome you would measure, if you were to determine whether the intervention worked, and explain how this is consistent with cognitive behavior theory. Explain how one merit and one limitation of cognitive behavior theory relates to the case study. · Analyze the application of cognitive-behavioral theory in relation to a diversity issue pertinent to the case. Be sure to: · Identify and correctly reference the case study you have chosen. · Speak clearly. Submit also, as a separate document, your Week 6 Analysis of a Theory Worksheet. Worksheet attached separately.
