Goal Hierarchy
Goals Objectives (Small Goals/Why)‏ Skills (How) & Knowledge (What/Why)‏
Goals are the overarching reason a person begins to do something.
Often goals are broad and abstract. "I want to be healthier." "I want to be happy."
Goals need to be broken down into manageable, meaningful, observable objectives.
Phrase goals as adding a positive instead of removing a negative.
One way to elicit goals is through the miracle question: If you woke up tomorrow and you were _____ (i.e. your problem was resolved/goal was achieved) what would be different?
This gives you insight into the foundations of this particular persons symptoms/definition of the problem.
Objectives need to be put into measurable terms. Frequency, Intensity, Duration
Objectives are small goals that can usually be achieved in 1-3 monthsThey combine to make the ultimate goal a reality.
Skills & Knowledge If you believe that people do the best they can with the tools they have at any given time, then you understand that your client now needs to learn how to change.
The Hook, A.K.A. The 5 Ws
Who is responsible for doing What, When, Where, Why and How
This is your client's action plan or map
Who (your client)‏
What are they responsible for doing, when and where
Why are they doing it
How is it helping them meet their ultimate goal
Behavior Modification
Behavioran observable, measurable event
Reinforcer something that increases the frequency of a behavior
Reinforcing a quality that ensures the repetition of a behavior
Punishment something that decreases the frequency of a behavior
Punishing a quality that ensures the reduction of a behavior
Contingency If x then y
POINTS
We only do things in which the reinforcers (positive) outweigh the punishments (negative).
It is vital not only to ask why a person wants to change, but also why he/she does not want to change.

Behavior Strain too much punishment/work without sufficient reward
Too long between initiation of behavior and reward
Using Behavior Modification
Treatment/Action Plan Activity
Write one of the most common reasons people come to see you
Turn that into an observable/measurable goal
Break the goal into 3-5 objectives that clearly state the 5 Ws
What is to be done
Who will do it
When will it be done
Why will it be done
Where will it be done
How (if applicable)‏
Motivation Multidimensional
Emotional—I want to
