(Personal communications, March 14, 2019)
 • While doing this interview we used the person-
centered approach and PIE.
• Person-centered approach allows the person to
come up with their own goals and thing through
their own problems, so they know exactly what
Framework they want to fix.
• PIE was used because it helps the client see
their strengths and limitations with their issue
that way they are better able to pinpoint the
problem.
 • What are some biases you had going into the interview?
When the client walked in my office and told me his issues, I
automatically assumed he had family support to help him.
Because he was a male, I didn't think he was going to be so
open about his financial status.
What were some value differences between you and the
client? Family roles and support, Religious beliefs and race.
Interview • What events or life experiences have shaped them into the
person they are? The way he was raised, his life choices.
Reflection • What is the staff recommendation about diagnosis,
Interventions or treatment? Staff recommends that you help
each student to the best of your ability and give all
resources that are needed.
• What changes do recommend for the agency or service
(Needs of agency, changes, and rights issues)? Easier way to
obtain resources.
