Mental status exam

The counseling has to involve the whole family: Hernandez senior, Elena Hernandez, Hernandez Junior, and Alberto Hernandez. This is because there is need to address all the root causes of the current problem (Wheeler, 2014). Hernandez Senior seems to be a bit ready to learn how he can overcome the habit that he inherited from his parents of giving his children torturing punishment of holding heavy encyclopedia books. This is because he does not see why his children should suffer the same way he used to suffer while undergoing the same punishment.

The psychotherapy notes capture the data of the patient, the type of assessment carried out and the plan laid for the therapy (DHHS, 2002). The note can have a different format, use SOAP which capture statement, objective data, assessment and plan. Psychotherapy notes exclude the time duration of the counseling, the modalities of treatment and results of tests. This information is excluded to guard patient safety and to protect sensitive information. My preceptor uses the psychotherapy notes are personal notes as they are intended for the therapy session. Additionally, they have little help to medics who are not involved in the therapy (Abeles, 2011).
