Consultation in clinical practice

Consultation is crucial in clinical practice as often times as clinicians we can feel stuck in our intervention strategies with our clients and unintentionally begin to have tunnel vision as it relates to the overarching themes originally presented by our clients.  Consultation provides an opportunity for our colleagues, who vary in experience and intervention skills, to provide unbiased feedback and insight to help us reframe our intervention strategies and can also provide a space for clinicians to explore any emotional experience they are having in working with their client, that may or may not, be impacting our work with them.  This assignment is intended to help students practice how to formulate presenting a case to a consultation group and in turn, learning how to provide a brief, clinical analysis feedback to colleagues seeking consultation.
