Mental Health Technician Certification (AMCA) Practice Test

When a provider documents that a client successfully overcame her fear of shopping, which phase of the provider process is this considered?

1. Assessment

2. Implementation

3. Evaluation

4. Intervention

The correct answer is: Evaluation

The documentation that a client has successfully overcome her fear of shopping falls under the phase of evaluation. This phase involves assessing the effectiveness of the interventions that were implemented during treatment. In this context, the provider is reflecting on the outcomes of the therapeutic process, measuring progress against the goals that were set earlier in the treatment. Successfully overcoming a specific fear indicates that the client has reached a desired outcome, which is crucial for determining the success of the intervention strategy. During evaluation, the provider reviews whether the interventions actually facilitated the intended changes and how effectively they contributed to the client’s overall mental health. This not only helps in tracking progress but also informs any needed adjustments in the treatment plan.
