Group Note

Select two clients you observed or counseled this week during a family therapy session. Note: The two clients you select must have attended the same family session.

Then, address in your Practicum Journal the following:

• Using the Group Therapy Progress Note in this week’s Learning Resources, document the family session.
• Describe (without violating HIPAA regulations) each client, and  identify any pertinent history or medical information, including  prescribed medications.
• Using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health  Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), explain and justify your diagnosis for  each client.
• Explain any legal and/or ethical implications related to counseling each client.
• Support your approach with evidence-based literature.
