Which assessment would help determine if a client with depression values their roles as a parent and friend?

The Role Checklist is specifically designed to assess the roles that individuals occupy in various aspects of their lives, including parenting and friendships. It facilitates the identification of how much significance the individual attributes to these roles. For a client experiencing depression, understanding the value placed on roles such as parent and friend can provide crucial insights into their overall mental health, motivation, and areas that might benefit from therapeutic intervention.

This assessment encourages clients to reflect on their feelings towards their roles, which is particularly relevant in the context of depression, as individuals may struggle with feelings of worthlessness or disconnection from important aspects of their life, such as relationships with family and friends. The Role Checklist not only helps in understanding the client’s perspective on their valued roles, but also assists in developing goals that promote engagement and recovery strategies tailored to enhancing their roles in these areas.

In contrast, the other assessments listed do not focus specifically on the subjective value or significance of roles in the context of a client’s life, making them less suitable for determining the value the client places on their roles as a parent and friend.
