Therapeutic Video Case Self-Injurious Client

Week 5 – Self-Injurious Client

Case Study: A 17-year-old female patient named Jess, who recently broke up with her boyfriend, reveals she has been cutting her arms. While rolling up her sleeves to display the cuts, she expresses suicidal ideation. She has a suicidal plan, overdosing on her depression medication, but says she doubts she would ever actually attempt to take her life. She reports no serious previous attempts.

Contact Your Partner

Identify a time that both of you can meet online to record your video. Allot about 60 minutes for discussion with your partner and the recording of the video.

Your partner groups are assigned in the first few weeks of the course by your instructor. You will keep the same partner group throughout the entire semester. During the video session, you will both practice the assigned skills for this week, which are based on your readings, handouts, and other weekly materials.

During Your Meeting with Your Partner

Each session should include the skills you used in prior weeks in the current video, don’t forget the skills you previously learned).

In your practice session, role play the case study with your partner using empathy and other skills you have reviewed this week. Your partner becomes the client. You play the role of the therapist.

Each partner will record a 15-minute video for each week using Zoom (see the instructional video on how to record a video at the beginning of the course). Provide a brief description (verbally) of the patient situation at the beginning of the video.

Video Recordings Need to Have the Following Components

The recording should show both you and the client during the entire session.

Both of your faces and body language should be shown.

Attire should be appropriate and professional.

Set up the room as if it were a therapy office (that is, chairs; a quiet, private space).

The recording needs to be clear and audible. Ensure there is no background noise when you are recording.

The lighting of the room needs to be appropriate; that is, it should illuminate the faces of the client and the therapist.

After the Video Recording

After your recording is complete, follow these instructions to create an unlisted YouTube video. You will need the YouTube video URL for this assignment. Submit your YouTube video URL. The best way to do this is to copy and paste the hyperlink URL for the YouTube video into a Word document. Your faculty will access your video via the link. Do not upload a video file (mp4).

Then, go to your Reflective Journal (after you have posted the video) to respond to the assigned journal questions and reflect on your interaction with the client.
