Case Conceptualization: Mastering This Competency with Ease and Confidence, Edition 3
Tungkol sa ebook na ito
Concrete guidelines and updated case material are provided for developing conceptualizations for the five most common therapy models: biopsychosocial, cognitive-behavioral, time-limited psychodynamic Adlerian, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Chapters also include specific exercises and activities for mastering case conceptualization and related competencies. In this edition the evidence-based 8-P model (presentation, precipitant, predisposition, pattern, perpetuants, protective factors, plan, and predictive factors) is introduced to help streamline and shorten the process of writing case conceptualizations, suitable for use with nearly all clients. The method is clearly illustrated, and the authors provide strategies for learning it. While previous editions of Case Conceptualization have focused primarily on individual counseling and therapy with adults in clinical settings, this new edition extends the use of case conceptualization to children, couples, and families in most clinical, rehabilitation, and addiction counseling settings. It also addresses the use and value of this critical competency in both supervision and consultation, as well as the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) in conceptualizing cases.
Practitioners, as well as graduate students in counseling, clinical psychology, and social work, will gain the essential skills and knowledge they need to master case conceptualization with ease and confidence.
