Strong case formulations help clinicians organize complex and contradictory information about their clients. They serve as blueprints guiding treatment; provide a measure of change; facilitate empathy; predict therapeutic crises; and, increasingly, help to justify the time and expense of therapy to third-party payers. This invaluable book is designed to help clinicians at all levels of training master the fine points of case formulation within a wide range of therapeutic approaches. Written in a standard format to facilitate comparison between case formulation methods, each chapter provides a step-by-step guide to implementing the method at hand in everyday clinical work, supported by an illustrative case example. Chapter authors consider the relationship of case formulation to therapeutic technique, review each method's historical and conceptual background, and evaluate its suitability for different types of clients. Also included is information on how one can become better trained in each method, along with summaries of available research.

For cognitive therapy to be successful, therapists must identify the key factors that contribute to their clients' problems. Effective cognitive case conceptualization necessarily precedes appropriate targeting and intervention selection. It requires the integration of the results of a comprehensive assessment into a strong conceptual foundation. Solidly grounded in recent research, and focusing particular attention on important new theoretical developments, this book first offers a comprehensive overview of the contemporary cognitive model of therapy. It then lays out detailed, easy-to-follow procedures for assessing within a cognitive framework, developing effective individualized cognitive case conceptualizations, and implementing state-of-the-art interventions based on them. A step-by-step guide for concisely summarizing and representing the salient features of a client's presentation is included. Extensive case histories bring to life the entire process of cognitive therapy--assessment, conceptualization, and intervention--for several clients with a variety of complex clinical problems: panic disorder with agoraphobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and chronic or recurrent major depressive disorder. Cognitive Case Conceptualization will become an indispensable desk reference for many experienced clinicians as well as trainees.
