Fleck, R. (Director.) (2006). Half Nelson. You may obtain a copy from your local library or Netflix, rent from a local Red Box, or purchase online from an online retailer (e.g. Amazon for approximately $5.00 – 8.00). This movie will be the basis of the assignment due at the end of this module.
To prepare for this activity, be sure to:
Review and participate in the discussion on signs and symptoms.
Read the Cohen et al. article on assessing readiness for psychiatric rehabilitation.
Based on the video, Half Nelson, write up a Readiness Assessment of the main character, Daniel’s, current state of readiness to participate in rehabilitation.
You must address each of the five core areas in your readiness assessment.
Need for Change
Commitment to Change
Self-Awareness
Environmental Awareness
Personal Closeness.
Your assessment should include where Daniel is in relation to each these areas in terms of his addictive behavior and a rationale as to why you have rated him on each core area in the way that you did. Be clear in your justification for the ratings you give in each section and be sure to apply your course materials to support your justification. In addition to the video, you should have a minimum of two other sources that support your assessment.
Your assessment should be 2-4 pages double spaced, not including your title and reference pages. Use APA 6 formatting for all of your citations and for your reference page. Be sure to proof your grammar, spelling, and organization carefully.
