  3. Being objective “Report what you observe, not what you think!”

  5. SOAP Notes • Subjective • Objective • Assessment • Plan

  6. “Objective”: • The TONE you should use when writing clinical documents, free of all personal opinions • Another name for a GOAL that the client is attempting to achieve • The second PARTof the SOAP note, where you record the data from the session

  7. Subjective • Any information about the client given to you by someone else that you cannot verify but has an impact on therapy • Your observations about the client’s behavior, attitude, and motivation during the session (BE OBJECTIVE!)

  8. Objective • Report the data (results) of the client’s therapy session. • For each goal/objective attempted, report the results.

  9. Assessment • Based on the data in the Objective section, evaluate the client’s performance • What has been mastered, and what will need additional practice?

  10. Plan • Describe your plans for the next session. • Describe strategies, suggestions, and any new goals. • Use “client + target + criterion” format for goals. • In long SOAP notes, indicate frequency and duration of treatment.
