Group Therapy Progress Note

There are two clients in my study. The first client was active in participation with an anxious mood. The effect was intense, mental status lack awareness, violence risk is a threat, change in stressor is less, change in coping ability is less able, and the change in severe symptoms are less severe (Bjornsson Bidwell et al., 2011). The medical history of the client is that he has been using cocaine for six months and was in rehabilitation for the last one month. The drugs he was taking are disulfiram. Moreover, the diagnosis of this client is that he is suffering from cocaine addiction. The diagnosis is right based on guidelines in (Bjornsson Bidwell et al., 2011).

The second client participation level was minimal. The participation quality is resistant, the mood is anxious, affect were labile, mental statues lack awareness, violence risk is almost none, change in stressor is chronic, coping ability is improved, and the symptoms are resolved. The history is that he has been using alcohol for more than five years. However, he has never been in any therapy. The diagnosis is the client is alcohol addict and is recovering with time due to the group therapy he is going through. The diagnosis is right because the symptoms are similar to those of diagnosis protocols by (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). The cognitive behavior therapy is effective for both case because the response on the treatment is positive and promising (Yalom & Leszcz, 2005). The ethical challenge is that the clients do not wish to disclose their medical history (Strickland & Stoops, 2015).
