Case formulation is a key skill for mental health practitioners, and this book provides examples of ten case formulations representing the most common mental health problems in a variety of populations and contexts, offering commentary on contrasting formulations of the same case.
- Provides an overview of the general features of case formulation and how it can drive treatment
- Features clinical cases from a variety of populations, focusing on a range of different problems
- Covers all the major theoretical perspectives in clinical practice – behavioural, cognitive behavioural, psychodynamic, medical , and eclectic
- Offers commentary on contrasting formulations of the same case for five different clinical problems
"This volume provides examples of case formulations representing the most common mental health problems. Each case is described, and then followed by two contrasting formulations and a commentary from a different perspective. These examples provide readers with clear models of case formulations, and highlight the different constructs and world views that characterize alternate theoretical approaches to case formulation."
