Conducting an Effective Mental Status Exam with John Sommers-Flanagan & Rita Sommers-Flanagan

Learn how to elicit important information from clients during the initial stages of treatment, while leveraging therapeutic listening, empathy and intuition to deepen rapport and create therapeutic alliance.

Gathering client information and performing initial assessments, while vital to effective treatment planning, can easily turn into a dry procedure that may adversely affect the therapeutic relationship. In this short video you’ll discover how to ask questions that can be organized into the 9 domains of a mental status exam in a way that is empathic and collaborative, building rapport and laying the foundation for a strong therapeutic bond. Learn from John and Rita Sommers-Flanagan—who literally wrote the book on clinical interviewing and assessment—how to engage clients collaboratively while gathering important information about how they are functioning in the present.

Watch clinical expert John Sommers Flanagan complete a mental status exam with Carl, a 19-year-old student struggling to adjust to his life at Trapper Creek Job Corps, and gain deeper insight into the process as the hosts break down the interviewing protocols and relational techniques being used. Their warm and compassionate dynamic infuses both their teaching and therapeutic work, and makes this seemingly “clinical” material both approachable and enjoyable.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Innovative Business Model:
   • Embrace the reality of a genuine business! Our approach involves forming a group buy, where we collectively share the costs among members. Using these funds, we purchase sought-after courses from sale pages and make them accessible to individuals facing financial constraints. Despite potential reservations from the authors, our customers appreciate the affordability and accessibility we provide.
2. The Legal Landscape: Yes and No:
   • The legality of our operations falls into a gray area. While we lack explicit approval from the course authors for resale, there’s a technicality at play. When procuring the course, the author didn’t specify any restrictions on resale. This legal nuance presents both an opportunity for us and a boon for those seeking budget-friendly access.
3. Quality Assurance: Unveiling the Real Deal:
   • Delving into the heart of the matter – quality. Acquiring the course directly from the sale page ensures that all documents and materials are identical to those obtained through conventional means. However, our differentiator lies in going beyond personal study; we take an extra step by reselling. It’s important to note that we are not the official course providers, meaning certain premium services aren’t included in our package:
     • No coaching calls or scheduled sessions with the author.
     • No access to the author’s private Facebook group or web portal.
     • No entry to the author’s exclusive membership forum.
     • No direct email support from the author or their team.

   We operate independently, aiming to bridge the affordability gap without the additional services offered by official course channels. Your understanding of our unique approach is greatly appreciated.

Refund is acceptable:

• Firstly, item is not as explained
• Secondly, Item do not work the way it should.
• Thirdly, and most importantly, support extension can not be used.
