COLLABORATIVE CASE PLANNING1
Role as a counsellor:
In this case, many aspects have been identified such as psychological issue of Jimmy,
family related issue, social issue and relationship issue as well (Chapman, 2017). Therefore, in
order to manage the current condition of Jimmy and his family it is important to conduct
counselling with each member of the family to understand their concern and perspectives
regarding the current situation. It is the responsibility of a counsellor to allow the client to
explore the different aspects of their lives and express difficult feelings without any hesitation
(Fleet et al., 2016). In this regards, I need to consider effective communication and active
listening during the session. In addition I will involve Jimmy in some interesting activities such
as watching video of soccer and related pictures and would like to ask him about his favourite
player, as it was mentioned by him that he like the time of playing soccer in school. Such
activities would help to gain trust of the client and engage him in the session to collect important
information that may help to set goals and strategies to resolve the issue of the child and his
family (Chapman, 2017).
Goals for the family:
As identified several issues in the interview session, the goals for the family of Mr.
McLeod should be-
Cognitive development of Jimmy as psychologist has identified delay in the cognitive
development.
Improve the self-esteem of Jimmy as poor self-esteem has contributed to his aggressive
behaviour.
