Stages of Task Centered Contract Approach
Engaging and establishing rapport with the client
Client engagement is the first stage of the approach, and it involves creating a positive environment for the client to adequately share information relevant to the condition (Rooney, 2018). In this stage, the clinician builds a rapport with a client by showing empathy, embracing open communication, and practicing mirroring. Therefore, engaging the client and establishing a good rapport will promote a reliable collaboration with the client to achieve established goals.
Identifying the target goal or issue
Target goal identification is the second stage of the approach and involves noting a specific aim achievable by collaborating with the client. The approach is significant since it helps the client and the health expert work in the same direction. The targeted goal should be achievable and measurable for the approach's success.
Identifying tasks for implementation by the clinician and client based on accountability
The stage involves identifying specific activities which the client and clinician should undertake together to reach the targeted goal. The stage is vital since the activities should be viable and meet clinical thresholds of the arising problem. The clinician should be accountable for any emerging problem during the execution of the activities.
Reviewing the action plan by considering touchback
After all the activities are identified, the clinician reviews the action plan to identify specific mistakes that may jeopardize collaboration from the client. During the review, it is also necessary to identify whether the provided time limit is viable and achievable.
Developing a timeframe for task implementation
Task implementation is the last stage of the approach, and it involves executing the established plan. It is an essential stage since it determines the success or failure of the approach. During this stage, the clinician must ensure the goals are timely achieved with high client satisfaction.
Task-centered Contract Approach
The chosen task-centered contract approach effectively addresses the client's needs by identifying goals and aligning them with activities. The goals are based on the client's current condition and needs, and completing the task achieves the client's needs (Bosworth et al., 2017). Besides, it effectively addresses the client's needs by identifying their areas of weakness and building on them. For instance, the clinician may realize the client suffers antisocial disorder; the approach would focus on specific activities such as continuous psychotherapy and consistent client engagement.
The Usefulness of the Task Centered Approach
The task-centered contract approach plays an essential role in behavioral health and health practice settings. It allows the clinicians to examine the behaviors of the client and their health problem before devising a treatment plan. It also allows the clinicians to identify the key target issue that handling would restore the client's condition. Lastly,...
