Assertive Community Treatment, the strengths model, and the brokerage model are
approaches to Case Management.
Problems of personal dissatisfaction are
appropriate for human service workers to address
Miller and Rollnick define motivation
as a state of readiness to change
During crisis a person looks
for ways to reduce discomfort
Although some individuals can withstand more stress than others,
all individuals have their breaking point.
Providing a setting for the client to ventilate feelings, discuss problems, examine approaches, receive feedback, receive support, and obtain resources is
an effective crisis intervention.
The case management treatment approach was applied to HIV/AIDS management not long after
1981
There are four basic ways to gather assessment information this includes:
Ask the client, ask someone who knows the person, observe the client in their natural setting, observe the person in certain standard test situations
Case management was designated
an essential within the federal Community Support Program (CSP) in 1978.
The multi-problem person is less likely to benefit from crisis intervention without
additional support systems to deal with longer-standing problems
The "stages of change" model, as developed by Prochaska and Di Clemente, lists five stages of change
They include Contemplation, Action, Preparation, Maintenance, and Precontemplation.
Being distressed by their behavior and thinking about changing it is
a characteristic of people in the Contemplation stage of change.
The Program in Assertive Community Treatment or ACT case management requires
a client to staff ratio of 10 to 1.
The High-Intensity Case Management model includes
case loads being shared across clinicians rather that individually assigned; there is twenty-four hour availability for crisis intervention by someone who knows the client fairly well; most services are provided in community settings rather than in the clinician's office.
According to Prochaska and DiClemente
change is a process defined by stages.
The cause of the crisis state is the
client's perception of an event that's so stressful it interferes with his coping patterns
In times of crisis, crisis decompensation is a
common occurrence.
No matter when the breaking point
common signs of crisis appear in all people.
Crisis prone is
crisis behavior occurring under low stress precipitators
Bottoming out refers to the end of
decompensation when the person hits his lowest ebbs and begins crisis resolution
During crisis a person is
especially sensitive to his or her own inability to cope
Problem identification helps
expedite linkages with service agencies
The fundamental idea of the "Strengths Model" of case management is to
focus on the client's strengths and less on their deficits.
In major disasters most people
have crisis symptoms
Assessment is concerned with
identifying the nature and severity of maladaptive behavior.
The primary goal of crisis intervention is to
increase coping skills
Changing problem behaviors can be difficult for some individuals when the
individual is ambivalent about the behavior; when the individual sees positive benefit to the behavior; and when the individual may be unaware they have a problem.
Assessment includes
input, preparation, output, and processing of steps.
The interviewer should be
interested and accepting of the patient to help the patient talk freely.
The dominant case management model in social welfare programs like TANF (Transitional Aid to Needy Families)
is the brokerage model
Engagement is
is the first and perhaps most critical task in clinical case management.
When not in crisis, most individuals
maintain at some adjustment level whose effectiveness varies only slightly
The principles and practices of motivational interviewing
most closely resemble Rogers' Client-Centered therapy.
Miller and Rollnick say that the most important factor in changing problem behavior is
motivation
The goal of the first contact in crisis intervention is to
obtain a commitment from the client to seek help
Skilled interviewing is
probably most heavily influenced by the interviewer's relationship with the client.
The Brokerage model focuses on
problem identification, plan development, and brokerage to services that will help a client solve their identified problems.
From a Motivational Interviewing perspective, all of the following strategies would increase a person's motivation to change
raising awareness, developing discrepancy, and increasing self-efficacy.
Successful crisis resolution requires
seeking and accepting help with tasks and feelings from personal and institutional resources.
We call a person crisis prone when they
seem to have one crisis after another.
The belief in one's abilities is best described
self-efficacy, as defined for motivational interviewing.
A crisis is
self-limiting
Brokering is
specifying services, defining the goals of services, and linking the consumer to services.
A worker's style of interaction with a client has an impact on
the change process
According to Miller and Rollnick,
there are three elements that are critical for motivation to arise. They are importance, confidence, and readiness.
Triage means
to sort out problems
Three important issues in human services case management are
unrealistic expectation, advocacy versus social control, and human resource development.
It is possible for some people to change problem behaviors
without formal help.
