Download or read book Behavioral Consultation in Applied Settings written by Thomas R. Kratochwill and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guidebook has been developed as a skill-training package to teach psychologists, counselors, social workers, and other applied mental-health professionals a model for the delivery of behavioral interventions through a behavioral consultation approach. This train ing guide is an abridged version of the skills taught as part of a behavioral consultation model. As such it is not intended to be an exhaustive program in behavioral consultation. Usually, consultation skills are taught over a period of several months in university training programs. Also, the most successful use of the guidebook can be accom plished only with prerequisite training in behavioral analysis and assessment as a method of delivering psychological services. Thus, individuals using this guidebook should obtain supervised training in this area. The book is also designed to accompany Bergan and Kratochwill (1990). Some individuals may have a background in behavioral assess ment and intervention. In this case, the use of this guidebook can provide the user who has not been exposed to the specifics of the behavioral consultation approach valuable information regarding in terviewing forms of assessment and intervention. Such activities can be extremely useful when incorporated into regular clinical work in applied settings and supplemented with other assessment and inter vention methods. Given the importance of successful interviewing in applied settings, a major clinical tool should be available after careful study of this guidebook.

Download or read book A Practical Guide to Developing Sustaining a Clinical Ethics Consultation Service written by Courtenay R. Bruce and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-09-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To our knowledge, no existing book or article describes how to establish and operate a vibrant and sustainable clinical ethics consultation service (ECS) from the ground up. As a result, ECS directors and ethics consultants may be charged with building or reinvigorating and sustaining a high-quality, successful service without sufficient practical guidance on how to plan, implement, and monitor their efforts. This lack of guidance can give rise to problems, including wasted time and effort, as well as misalignments in expectations and goals between hospital administrators and ethics consultants on what constitutes "success" and "failure" in service activities. Toward the goal of providing this much-needed guidance, we describe key considerations and strategies for developing, implementing, and monitoring a high-quality, successful service. It is important to note that in responding to hospital administrators' expectations and establishing a successful service, it is necessary but not sufficient to demonstrate the competence of individual consultants. Thus, some portions of this guide are addressed to the individual or individuals leading an ECS, but many chapters will be useful to anyone engaging in clinical ethics consultation or playing a role in overseeing or otherwise advocating for an ECS. Our focus is on building and sustaining high-quality, successful services in ways that go well beyond the traditional focus on how to conduct an ethics consultation. Specifically, we have chapters and sections devoted to working through a case, mediation skills, and conducting and facilitating family meetings that should be useful for any ethics consultant, particularly individuals who are new to ethics consultation or seasoned consultants who wish to reflect on their practices, but we also have chapters and sections devoted to "selling points to hospital administrators on the value of ECSs," building an ECS infrastructure, launching a service, etc., that are aimed more towards ECS directors, with the goal of providing essential guidance on ECS development and maintenance. Finally, our goal is to be as practical and clinically-oriented as possible by addressing everyday nuts-and-bolts concerns that apply across demographically- and geographically-diverse hospital settings, subject to some individual variation that we will underscore for our readership. In particular, we arrange this guide according to phases of an ECS. Part 1 will focus on planning for an ECS. Part 2 will discuss how to implement an ECS. Part 3 will then conclude with information about how to monitor an ECS once it is established, and how to address common challenges. We believe that much of the advice we provide can be extended to other consultative or hospital services that are based in hospitals, such as palliative medicine, chaplaincy, or social work services. We hope you find this useful!
Download or read book Performance Consulting written by Dana Gaines Robinson and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2008-04-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1995 the first edition of Performance Consulting introduced a concept which has since become a cornerstone of the human resource, learning and organizational development fields: training and HR solutions do not take place in a vacuum but must be tied to an organization's business goals. Performance consulting is a process in which a client and consultant partner to achieve business goals by optimizing workgroup performance. In this updated edition, Dana and Jim Robinson draw on what they've learned since the first edition was published twelve years ago, providing both a robust conceptual framework and improved tools and techniques to help the reader move from the traditional role to that of a Performance Consultant. They show readers how to form partnerships with management, help to identify performance required to ensure that business goals are achieved and assist management in taking actions needed for performance to change. They also illustrate the “how-to’s” for assisting management to identify the performance required to achieve business goals; and determining the degree to which the work environment supports and encourages the performance required. Effective HR and learning consultants master both the “science” (the analytical and assessment techniques) and the “art” (the consultative and partnering practices) of performance consulting. For the science of performance consulting, dozens of analytic tools, templates and assessment techniques are provided in the book. Regarding the art, the Robinsons describe the concepts and practices of ACT—building Access, Credibility and Trust—with business managers. In addition, two brand new chapters are dedicated to the skills of reframing requests for solutions into discussion of business goals and performance requirements; and Initiating business goals discussions with business managers and identifying strategic opportunities to partner with those managers in a proactive manner. Performance Consulting Toolkit - The second edition of Performance Consulting references graphic and adaptable tools that can be downloaded to support the performance consulting work the Robinsons describe. These tools are available to purchase and download from this product page. See the Table of Contents link for the full listing of the tools. Some tools (in Adobe PDF) can be printed and shared; others (in Microsoft Word) can be adapted to your specific needs and application requirements.
