Does treatment planning involve so much paperwork and time that it prevents counselors from providing adequate attention to clients?
There is no much paperwork to deny the counselors ample time to engage the clients. Ideally, the counselors are exceptionally trained and organized to diagnose and provides sufficiently adequate counseling to the clients adequately (Rogers, 2012). The treatment planning process is just a framework which provides the counselor with the basic outlines to follow while providing services to the patients.

However, I would discharge my mandates and responsibility with dignity and professionalism prudently. During counseling sessions, the counselors should focus on the issues but not surrounding concerns of the clients. They should move to reduce the frustration on the face of the clients.
Handling group emotions can sometime be challenging. However, for this sake of this situation, I will first categorize the clients with the same condition together.

However, it can be reduced through psychological therapy.
