This discussion requires you to make a recommendation for EBPs to apply to the Richard Whitman case. In the final recommendations for this case Brenda Desmond, the clinician, states, "At this point, I recommend he engage in level 1.0 outpatient counseling with a dually-licensed mental health/substance abuse clinician for up to three years." The clinician reviewing his case, Frances Henry Williams, would like to be more specific. Considering what you have recently learned about EBPs, respond to the following questions and comments.
Discussion Question 1: Remember the "Gateway Video" - what does this case say about issues of polarization and lack of service integration?
Discussion Question 2: What will constitute successful treatment for Mr. Whitman?
Discussion Question 3: Determine how and why you would apply different specific EBPs to various aspects of the case.
Discussion Question 4: Perhaps there is an aspect of the case which does not seem amenable to one of the models-ask about it.
Discussion Question 5: Is Mr. Whitman a good candidate for 12-step programs? CBT? MET? Contingency Management? Integrated Dual Disorders Treatment?
Discussion Question 6:Is he a good candidate for group therapy?
