This is a training video designed to facilitate thought and discussion about the use of goals and goal setting in early sessions with young people with complex issues. Although there are some examples of good practice it is NOT meant to be taken as a perfect example of using goals. The video is intended to be used for self-reflection or can be used in group training or learning events.
The scenario is based on real clinical examples but the young person in the video is played by an actor.
Dr Duncan Law gives a lecture on working with goals in a shared-decision making contest when working with CYP with eating disorders as part of the national community eating disorder services (CEDS) training programme.
In this video Mick explores the goals of a young adult Aaron who is experiencing difficulties with sleep. Mick and Aaron complete the ‘Goals Form’ together. The ‘Goals Form’ is one of a number of tools that can be used to help facilitate and track goals in counselling and psychotherapy – the information on the goals form can be dowloaded here and a blank PDF copy of the form can be downloaded here
I first received permission to translate and use the GBO in Japan from Duncan Law in 2014. I started work on the project as soon as I returned to Japan, having spent the previous year researching in London, and was actually using the Japanese version of GBO by the autumn of 2014. Time flies, it will soon be our 5th year of using it?
In this Video Dr Sue Knowles from Changing Minds Child and Family Services asks Prof Duncan Law about common issues when working with goals.
