[From 10$/Pg] Hartley Et Al Based on the YMH Boston Vignette 5 video, the practitioner did
well in her approach to the adolescent client, such as asking why he is there with an open-
ended question, as well as inquiring about the client’s condition with specific questions
addressing depression and anxiety, while allowing moments of silence to truly listen to the
adolescent client. This is important as it demonstrates empathic engagement, making him
feel heard, which is a crucial step toward establishing a therapeutic alliance (Hartley et al.,
2022). However, there are areas for improvement on behalf of the provider in the video,
such as the lack of a formal introduction on when first meeting the client, or explaining
HIPAA /confidentiality to the client in order to provide a more trusting atmosphere and
further explain her role.At this point in the clinical interview, there is a compelling concern,
as the client mentions having thoughts/feelings of not wanting to be alive, with a possible
plan. My next question would be regarding the plan of self-harm and assessing the
possibility of the client actually carrying out the plan. I would also find out whether he has
previously attempted to hurt himself and how, as well as whether anyone close to him has
previously died from a suicide attempt. This is extremely important as certain fixed factors
which increase the risk of suicide are previous attempts by the client, or a successful
attempt by someone they were close with, amongst others. Due to this, providers must
place great emphasis on gaining a clear understanding of the sequence of events leading up
to the client feeling this way and/or previous and current thoughts on acting upon it (Shain
et al., 2016).A thorough psychiatric assessment of a child/adolescent is important as it
provides all the essential information needed to formulate the most accurate diagnosis and
plan of care for the client, based on consideration for data and information gathered
regarding their history and past treatments, family history, etc. Two different symptom
rating scales that would be appropriate to use during the psychiatric assessment of a
child/adolescent include the Pediatric Symptom checklist which is helpful in gaining better
insight into psychosocial issues being experienced by the client, or the Short Mood and
Feelings Questionnaire when trying to assess for a diagnosis of depression (Hilt &
Nussbaum, 2015). In addition, two psychiatric treatment options for children and
adolescents that may not be used when treating adults can include playing therapy, as well
as child art therapy. Parents and guardians play an essential role in facilitating the
assessment of the client, as they, naturally, spend a great deal of time with the client and are
able to provide insight, from their perspective, regarding the client’s current and past
behavior, as well as pertinent health history, and much more. The parents and guardians](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/hartleyetal-230605145252-82344e54/85/Hartley-Et-Al-docx-1-320.jpg)
