After completing a Career Construction Interview and before beginning counseling with clients, practitioners must understand the meaning presented in clients' stories, relate this meaning to the initial reason they sought counseling, and prepare to retell clients' stories in a manner that draws a sharp character sketch, highlights the career theme, and envisions scenarios that extend the occupational plot. If more than one session is possible, then the tasks of interviewing and counseling may be divided. Typically, practitioners spend the first session eliciting clients' career constructions with the Career Construction Interview, the second session narrating to the client a reconstructed story and beginning to coconstruct a reconceptualized identity narrative, and the third and final session completing counseling and terminating the consultation. This chapter presents the assessment goals that concentrate on extracting client preoccupations and problems from the early recollections that sustain them.

This book describes methods of career construction counseling based on the conceptual model of life designing. It defines counseling and how career counseling has evolved over the last century. The counseling profession has evolved three distinct conceptual models to direct how they conduct career counseling: guiding, developing, and constructing. The book is organized into nine chapters. Chapter one presents a brief overview of the book. Chapter two examines the core concepts of self, identity, meaning, mastery, and mattering. Chapter three explains how practitioners use narrative psychology to help clients revise their career stories to increase comprehension, coherence, and continuity. Chapter four describes the framework and elements of the Career Construction Interview during which practitioners ask story-crafting questions, which scaffold career construction. Chapter five presents the assessment goals that concentrate on extracting client preoccupations and problems from the early recollections that sustain them. Chapter six describes how to identify client solutions to the problems they pose in their early recollections. Chapter seven discusses how to use career themes or central tensions to extend clients' occupational plots by identifying fitting settings, possible scripts, and future scenarios. The final two chapters concentrate on using the assessment results in career construction counseling. The penultimate chapter describes how career counseling practitioners compose an identity narrative that reconstructs clients' small stories into a large story that encourages reflexivity to clarify choices. The final chapter explains the importance of turning intention to action in the real world, first through exploration and trial, then through deciding and doing.

The two primary goals of mental health courts are to engage individuals with severe mental illness in the criminal justice system with clinical mental health services and to prevent future involvement with the criminal justice system. An important factor in helping to achieve both goals is to identify participants' level of clinical needs and criminogenic risk/needs. This study seeks to better understand how criminogenic risk affects outcomes in a mental health court. Specifically, we explore if high criminogenic risk is associated with failure to complete mental health court. Our subjects are participants of a municipal mental health court (MHC) who completed the Level of Services Inventory-Revised (LSI-R) upon entry to the program (N=146). We used binary logistic regression to determine the association between termination from the program with the total

BACKGROUND: In April 2004, the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III Guidelines for management of high cholesterol encouraged even lower levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) than previous guidelines for high and very high risk groups. Assessing patients' risk factors to determine LDL goals is the first step to help guide therapy. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the use of the Mobile Lipid Clinic Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) Calculator during office visits will increase the number of patients achieving their LDL goal compared to using electronic medical records or conventional methods. METHODS: Four family medicine residency programs affiliated with the Northeastern Ohio Network participated with each site using a different method. The PDA site used the Mobile Lipid Clinic Calculator, the second site used electronic health records (EHRs), the control site used usual care methods, and the transition site moved from paper charts to EHRs during the study. In 2006, baseline chart reviews were conducted to randomly enroll 100 patients per site (aged 40-75 years) with LDL levels at least 10% above goal. In 2007, follow-up chart reviews were conducted on the same patients to determine reductions in LDL and the percent of patients that reached their LDL goals. RESULTS: The percentage reaching their LDL goal and option goal were as follows: PDA site 27% and 12%, EHR site 19% and 3%, control site 4% and 1%, transition site 32% and 12%. Cholesterol-lowering medication usage increased significantly from 38% at baseline to 47% at follow-up (chi(2) = 149.5, P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Using a PDA tool can be just as effective as EHRs in getting patients to their LDL goal and is better than some conventional methods, suggesting the benefit of utilizing technology to improve patient care and health outcomes.
