University of Phoenix Material

Week Five Programmatic
Assessment

Scenario

Abby is a 20-year-old
female college student. For at least the last 3 months, Abby has experienced
ongoing anxiety and worry without a specific cause for these feelings. She has
been restless and has noticed that her muscles feel tense and that these
symptoms are beginning to affect her behavior in a way that is causing her to
become distressed and that is preventing her from being able to complete her
normal tasks. Abby correctly believed that it was normal to feel a little
anxious sometimes; however, as the semester has progressed, she has not begun
to feel significantly more comfortable.

On the
recommendation of a friend, Abby visited the university’s counseling center and
talked to Dr. Smith. Dr. Smith was warm and welcoming and, after discussing the
limits of confidentiality with Abby and obtaining informed consent, encouraged
Abby to describe her concerns. Dr. Smith listened attentively and asked Abby a
few questions. They both agreed on an appointment date and time for the next
week. Dr. Smith gave Abby a homework assignment to keep a written log of the
negative thoughts or assumptions she has during the week and the circumstances
under which those thoughts occurred. Abby was asked to bring the log with her
to her next appointment.
