1. Create a hypothetical client, include the client's name, age, marital status, occupation, and relevant family information (such as children or involved siblings or parents).  This should be 2-3 paragraphs.
2. Presenting problem: What is the reason for the client receiving your services? Be specific about the problem, but do not add many extra details by "telling the client's story." This should be a 2-3 paragraph description about the problem as the client perceives it.

 What are three of the client's main intervention/treatment goals? These should be specific and measurable.  Describe the outcome the client wants to achieve. (1-2 pages)

3.      Relevant theoretical constructs: Which theory is relevant to your client's case? Describe the relevant points of the theory and if applicable, which stage(s) are present. (1-2 pages) For example, clearly describe the main points of the theory and relevant stage(s). Freud's Psychoanalytic Theory may apply to a client using defense mechanisms when dealing with addiction issues.  Give a general description of the theory and then discuss the relevant defense mechanisms.

1. Intervention methods: Synthesize the theoretical model you chose above to explain the intervention methods you will utilize to help you client meet the goals.
