CLT Clinical Application & Case Management 3

Question 1

In LEAP therapy, the 'Partner' phase is distinguished from simple compliance because it requires:

Accepted Answer

Mutual goal-setting where the client's priorities drive the plan

Answer

Partnering in LEAP means co-creating goals anchored in what the client values, not imposing clinician-defined outcomes.

Question 2

A LEAP-trained case manager is conducting a home visit when a client becomes verbally hostile. The priority action is to:

Accepted Answer

Use reflective listening to de-escalate before continuing the visit

Answer

Reflective listening in LEAP de-escalates by signaling that the client is heard, reducing the perceived threat of the interaction.

Question 3

When a LEAP therapist encounters a family member who wants to join sessions to 'help convince' the client to comply with treatment, the therapist should:

Accepted Answer

Meet with the family separately to coach them in LEAP communication

Answer

Coaching family members in LEAP skills expands the supportive alliance without undermining the client's autonomy in individual sessions.

Question 4

Which scenario best illustrates the 'Agree to Disagree' principle within the LEAP framework?

Accepted Answer

Therapist accepts that the client doesn't believe they are ill while still exploring shared goals like better sleep

Answer

Agreeing to disagree in LEAP means not requiring diagnostic consensus while still finding overlap in what the client and clinician each want to improve.

Question 5

A CLT practitioner is managing a caseload of 20 clients with serious mental illness. Which caseload management principle aligns most closely with LEAP philosophy?

Accepted Answer

Prioritize clients based on their current level of engagement, not symptom severity alone

Answer

LEAP-informed caseload management recognizes that engagement quality predicts outcome better than symptom scores alone.
