1. Assess clients presenting with disruptive behavior
Assess clients presenting with disruptive behaviorAssess clients presenting with disruptive
behaviorThe adolescent population is often referred to as “young adults,” but in some ways,
this is a misrepresentation. Adolescents are not children, but they are not yet adults either.
This transition from childhood to adulthood often poses many unique challenges to working
with adolescent clients, particularly in terms of disruptive behavior. In your role, you must
overcome these behaviors to effectively counsel clients. For this Discussion, as you examine
the Disruptive Behaviors media in this week’s Learning Resources, consider how you might
assess and treat adolescent clients presenting with disruptive behavior.Assess clients
presenting with disruptive behaviorAnalyze therapeutic approaches for treating clients
presenting with disruptive behaviorEvaluate outcomes for clients presenting with
disruptive behaviorTo prepare:Review this week’s Learning Resources and reflect on the
insights they provide.View the media, Disruptive Behaviors. Select one of the four case
studies and assess the client.For guidance on assessing the client, refer to pages 137-142 of
the Wheeler text in this week’s Learning Resources.Note: To complete this Discussion, you
must assess the client, but you are not required to submit a formal Comprehensive Client
Assessment.1.an explanation of your observations of the client in the case study you
selected, including behaviors that align to the criteria in DSM-5.2.Then, explain therapeutic
approaches you might use with this client, including psychotropic medications if
appropriate.3. Finally, explain expected outcomes for the client based on these therapeutic
approaches. Support your approach with evidence-based literature.ORDER NOW FOR
ORIGINAL, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But do not strictly
rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a
lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with
numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your
paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary.
Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors.
Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12
point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with
small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the
recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large
type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between
lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding”
to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your

2. professor.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on
the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white
paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to
follow your argument.
