This assignment fulfills competency 2.1.

3: Apply critical thinking to inform and

communicate professional judgments. For this assignment I was required to
complete a bio-psycho-social assessment of my client as well as a plan of change.
Through this assignment I was able to fully evaluate my client and his history in
order to assess what aspects of the clients psychological well-being and social
history may be contributing to his current problems. The competency 2.1.3 includes
the following practice behaviors: distinguish, appraise, and integrate multiple
sources of knowledge including research-based and practice wisdom; analyze
models of assessment, prevention, intervention, and evaluation; and demonstrate
effective oral and written communication in working with individuals, families,
groups, organizations, and communities. The evaluation of client completed within
this assignment fulfilled these practice behaviors. By providing a thorough written
history of this client I effectively implemented the last practice behavior of this
competency. In addition to this, I was able to analyze models of assessment and
prevention when completing this assignment. I implemented models of assessment
that I had previously learned about when competing the bio-psycho-social
assessment and I referred to intervention methods I had previously encountered
when I constructed the plan of change for this client. Based on this I feel that this
assignment successfully fulfilled competency 2.1.3. In addition, I also feel that this
assignment prepared me for future clinical work by familiarizing me with the
structure of a bio-psycho-social assessment.
