Peter is a 47-year-old Latino male who is married and currently living with his wife (45) and 2 children (Samuel, M/12 and Anne, F/14). He has been a computer engineer at a large company for 15 years and is a respected colleague at the company. Recently, he has suffered from stomachache and headaches, which finally led him to visit his doctor. He also shared that he has not been sleeping well for the past three months. Peter has a conflictual relationship with his wife and they argue over parenting issues and priorities with their two teenage children. Recently, Peter’s mother, who is 75-years-old, has been diagnosed with liver cancer. He has a fairly close relationship with his mother who lives two hours away from Peter. Peter does not have an active social life and he spends most of time either at work or with his family.
Imagine you are to conduct a bio-psycho-sociocultural-spiritual assessment with Peter in an IC setting. You will have about 20 minutes for an initial assessment. In your paper, please address the following:
Discuss dimensions to be included in the assessment (including bio-psycho-sociocultural-spiritual dimensions as well as self-management skills)
What questions would you ask to assess the different dimensions during the assessment process? Give specific examples and explain rationale for choices.
Explain how assessment follows a strengths-based approach and builds the therapeutic alliance.
Based on the assessment, how would you and Peter define his problem in a solvable manner? Include a clear statement of the problem.
Based on the assessment, how would you facilitate Peter in developing helpful and attainable goals?
In your concluding paragraph, address how this assessment differed from an assessment that might be conducted in a traditional specialty mental health setting. (i.e. what was different about the assessment in an integrated care setting?)
Use appropriate headings to facilitating reading of paper.
Page length of the assignment: 3-5 pages (5 pages maximum! Double space recommended.)
