Social Determinants of Mental Health: Case Conceptualization

Title:
Social Determinants of Mental Health: Case Conceptualization and Treatment Planning
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
A Stephen Lenz, PhD; Stacey Diane A. Litam, Ph.D., LPCC-S, NCC, CCMHC
Description:
The integration of social determinants of mental health (SDMH) frameworks into the key counseling activities of case conceptualizations and treatment planning has promising implications for holistic representation development within the prevention- and intervention-focused models of client care (Lenz & Litam, 2023). It is prudent that counselors understand the opportunities associated with integrating the SDMH into their practice to support culturally responsive and evidence-based practices that account for the influences of nonbiological influences on well-being. However, Lenz and Litam stated that examples of the meaningful integration of SDMH into the case conceptualization and treatment plans that guide counselor training and clinical practice are scant. This Professional Development meets that need. Lenz and Litam put forth a proposed conceptual structure, assumptions for integrating SDMH, and meaningful examples of such integration.
Learning Objectives:
1.Understand social determinants of mental health (SDMH) and their role in case conceptualization and treatment planning.
2.Considerations for the integration of SDMH into client case conceptualizations.
3.Considerations for the integration of SDMH into client treatment plans.

Presenter(s)/Author(s):
John M. Malouff, PhD and Nicola S. Schutte, PhD
Description:
This meta?analysis investigated the efficacy of interventions aimed at reducing procrastination in randomized controlled trials. Twelve studies, with a total of 646 participants, met inclusion criteria. The significant meta?analytic effect size, Hedges's g = 1.18, indicates that the interventions had a large positive effect. Three variables significantly moderated effect size: Higher effects were associated with interventions delivered in person, student samples, and a no?treatment control condition. The results lay a foundation for procrastination treatment and future research.
Learning Objectives:
1.Explore the efficacy of interventions for procrastination in randomized controlled trials.
2.Examine procrastination treatment and future research aimed at helping clients reduce procrastination.
