In formulating a client assessment, which of the following should not be included?

Client's personal history
Client's goals for treatment
Client's presenting problems
Client's strengths

The correct answer is: Client's goals for treatment

In formulating a client assessment, it is vital to include comprehensive information that outlines the client's current situation, challenges, and resources. While understanding a client’s goals for treatment is important, it is primarily a directive aspect of the therapy process rather than a foundational component of the assessment itself. The client's personal history offers crucial context about their life experiences, relationships, and significant events that may influence their current behavior and mental health. Presenting problems highlight the specific issues that led the client to seek help, serving as a primary focus for intervention. Identifying a client’s strengths is essential as it allows social workers to build on these assets to foster resilience and encourage positive changes. Including this information ensures that the assessment provides a well-rounded view of the client, necessary for effective planning and intervention in treatment.
