for #2, I picked B because I figured that confidentiality would have already been addressed when the client first came to see the social worker
Never make assumptions, cover your butt!
Nope!
i know this is old, but B is correct. The question asks what should you do first to establish a therapeutic relatonship. the speaker is incorrect.
@@phylliswillis1298 thank you. I am studying now for my LMSW and I thought B was correct.
@@phylliswillis1298 Its hard... I have seen questions like this before... and A always seems to be correct. Idk why it says 'to establish a therapeutic relationship'
Thank you for sharing! I passed my test today ♥️
Great Study Session and practice . Reading can be exhausting at times . Thanks for sharing ❤️
Thank you! Thinking in terms of the sub-phases of the helping process (as opposed to only initial, middle, and end) is extremely helpful!
For question #2, I would tell the client about confidentiality BEFORE she disclosed any information to me. Therefore, the correct answer should be B. Please explain why the client would be discussing any information before the confidentiality disclosure was told to her?
Kathleen Webb agreed. When you are asking about the therapeutic relationship, you think of the therapeutic relationship not paperwork. I cannot see how A is the correct answer.
Lainie Hoffman I am confused as well
What I’ve learned/noticed is:
1. It’s not about what you would do in your practice but more of how the test wants you to answer
2. Don’t add more information to the question than what is says/is available
3. In terms of the test taking strategy being taught, once you get down to the last 2 viable options ask yourself which is most accurate.
I agree. Had the question not asked about the therapeutic relationship, I would have chose A
i definitely agree. Consent and confidentiality are usually addressed during the intake process, not after a client has opened up to the therapist.
Question #10 D is correct because the client has a plan to harm others and in that situation sw has to break confidentiality
For number 3, why would we tell a client they “should” do something?
Lainie Hoffman Agree I thought B was the most appropriate answer
I think it’s not so much “should” with the tone of forcing, but it’s moreso validating that it’s natural for him to not feel safe in a new environment. Like telling someone they “should do what’s best for them” isn’t forcing them to do something, it’s acknowledging their autonomy, you know?
@@calianntran EXACTLY! Also, as social workers we a trained to meet clients where they're at. And because he has reservations about this new environment, we are acknowledging that concern, and as a social worker meeting him where he is at in the therapeutic process.
This video was great! Thank you!
Very helpful. Thank you for your insight.
The No Harm Contract is NOT an effective way of helping clients that might be suicidal. It is beneficial for the client for us to develop a Safety Plan. There are so many other interventions that can help assist clients with these types of thoughts.
Thank you, this is so awesome!
Such a GREAT help!
This was helpful.
Thank you for providing this study
A client said she lost her sister ,and you ignore that to discuss confidentiality, which you should have discussed before the client starts expressing her emotion.
To be honest if i see that question in the exams, i will choose B. Consent and confidentiality are usually addressed during the intake process, not after a client has opened up to the therapist.
Awesome! I’m feeling better 🙏🏾
This is awesome. Are you doing more videos like this for test taking strategies.
This was great! Loved it.
Anyone knows if Chinh is still doing LCSW practice tests and etc??? She's so helpful and helped me pass my LGSW.
I am studying for my MSW exam, how can I join your study session?
So helpful!
Thank you for sharing this session!
Can someone explain to me how to properly use the FARAFEI for first/next in this question
Thank you for the practice!
Hi do you have any option to sell the LMSW prep courses individually?
Do you have any other videos
This is a great resource. Would you say this is geared more toward lcsw or lmsw?
thats what I want to know as well!
For question 9, I thought the client was the child, not mother? I chose B because this question reflects the issue with the child conducting this behavior, therefore why conduct an assessment with the mother, is this because the child is underage, please explain more in depth?
I accidentally chose B as well but as she mentioned that wouldn't be the INITIAL phase of treatment ...we want to gather as much information as possible from our clients or clients parents. So it makes sense after that. The mother will give us more perspective...then I'd observe I suppose
The child is apart of the family system and you want the mother input about the current behaviors in the home due to changes in the environment(boyfriend). PIE- person in environment.
#10 How do you report without breaching confidentiality if the client does not identify a targeted victim?
I have the same issue. If you don't know the victim, do you have to report it?
This isn't considered a breach due to the fact that he plans to do it again. You would have the duty to warn the police of this intent as it's consider a danger to others.
Per California's Tarasoff law, you have the duty to warn by notifying the police only if the intended victim is identified. Otherwise, it's a breach of confidentiality. At least that is how my clinical supervisor and I see it.
but when it comes to Tarasoff we aren't talking about State by State laws..we are talking about what are you supposed to do nationally? The ASWB Clinical exam is a national exam, so you wouldn't answer that question according to your state laws..you would answer the question according to the NASW code of ethics
Good to know. Thanks
1. Got it right
Thanks very helpful
Very helpful
I think the answer you gave for number 6 is wrong. In the code of ethics, it says very clearly 'SW's should inform clients when a real or potential conflict of interest arises and take reasonable steps to resolve the issue'.
Thank you !!
wow! Thank you so much!!! :)
Question #6, why is the answer C-Consult with knowledgeable social work colleagues instead of the answer D-continue providing therapy for both clients and keep the therapy services confidential can someone explain in more detail. Thanks
My best understanding of this is......you are continuing to provide therapy for individuals who are in a relationship or ex relationship...well that's a possible conflict of Interest . If one of them finds out they could potentially feel as If you're sharing info with the other person. But ethically, you cant do that either way :)
Question #6: Suggesting couple therapy to this client does not break confidentiality because you are suggesting it based solely on the information that this client has provided. It’s still not the answer because it will lead to a conflict of interest if the client does agree to couples therapy because of the fact that you know the other partner is your client also. I chose the right answer, C, but for different reasons.
I found that couple's therapy would be the best answer because it gets it in the open that you are seeing both clients. I didn't agree with this particular answer.
Do you still have LCSW classes and/or program I can join?
dj2kdynasty13 yes! Swtosw.teachable.com
Hello, can I get your email so I can join a study session? Thank you
Awesome
Where can I get practice questions for the LMSW?
Were you able to practice questions for the LMSW
I disagree with the answer for 6, why would you consult with your colleagues? I believe the answer should be B, and if you will consult, you should consult with your supervisor, in consulting with colleagues, you're breaking confidentiality
