QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS||
LATEST UPDATE!!
After 9/11, the US responded to the attack with the invasion of both Afghanistan
and Iraq. A systemic concept that addresses this knee jerk approach to solving a
problem (9/11 attack) by offering a solution
focused only on the symptom rather than the root cause of a much bigger
issue in the world (effects of US colonialism) is:
a. multi-international partiality
b. societal regression
c. quid quo pro
d. every action results in a similar reaction
b. societal regression
Bowen looked beyond families into society and felt at times larger social issues in
society were often given "band aid solutions" which missed the core systemic
structures that had resulted in the problem, coining the
concept of societal regression
,An MFT correctly remembers that HIPAA allows for keeping
psychotherapy notes separate from PHI (Protected Health Information).
However, the MFT also wants to document his review of relevant
outcome research as part of this treatment planning. Where does the
research review documentation go?
a. AAMFT Code of Ethics (revised 2012) clearly states that research
documentation is part of PHI
b. there are no definitive guidelines on where to place the research
review, however, because it's part of treatment planning, it most
logically belongs in the official file along with PHI, and should be made
available for review anytime authorization to release the file occurs
c. its clearly part of the notes becuase it was the MFT's option to include
it
d. That's the MFT option. It can go wither in the PHI or the notes files
B- there are currently no definitive guidelines on where or how to
document your research review. However, thinking it through, the review
is part of treatment planning, which itself is not an optional element of
documentation. Because the treatment planning goes in the official file,
it would be most logical to put the research review there as well
,Mr. Oesco comes to therapy with his son Josh. Mr. Oesco and his wife
are divorced. He and Josh live together and Mrs. Oesco and her
daughter Jessica live in another state. The presenting problem appears
to be Josh's anger at his mother and his refusal to conform to the
visitation arrangement set up by the court when the Oescos divorced.
Josh appears to have a good relationship with his sister which at times
presents a problem to his father and mother.
In assessing this family, the majority of family therapists would most likely
do all of the following except:
a. imbalance in the hierarchy
b. transgenerational history of triangles
c. problem solving skills
d. organization of the family
d. organization of the family
Structural therapists will always focus on how a family is organized,
believing that symptoms occur from improperly organized families.
Imbalance in the hierarchy is strategic, transgenerational history of
triangles is trans generational, problem solving skills is strategic.
, under the HIPAA privacy rule, any therapist is liable for her/his entire
practice if:
a. they are a licensed mental health clinician and have contracted
support staff
b. they are a licensed, or unlicensed, mental health clinician who
transmits PHI using any electronic means
c. they are a licensed, or unlicensed, mental health clinician who
transmits PHI using any electronic. means for at least 50% of their
current clients
d. they are a licensed or unlicensed mental health clinician who transmits
PHI using electronic means for even one client on one ocassion
D. Answer B is also correct but D is more specific and therefore the
better answer.
