Case Conceptualization and Treatment Planning: Integrating Theory With Clinical Practice teaches students in counseling, psychotherapy, and clinical psychology how to develop the case conceptualization and treatment planning skills necessary to help clients achieve change. Author Pearl S. Berman provides client interviews and sample case studies in each chapter along with detailed steps for practice and developing treatment plans. Chapters conclude with questions that engage students in critical thinking about the complexity of human experiences. The updated and expanded Fourth Edition includes cutting-edge issues in trauma-informed care; responsiveness to development across the lifespan; integration of issues relevant to intersectionality of oppression; and evidence-based practice.

 NEW TO THIS EDITION:

  • Expansion of detailed case examples and skill-building exercises help instructors provide their students with a richer, more valuable learning experience.
  • A streamlined organizational structure allows readers to easily switch back and forth between research chapters and clinical chapters.
  • Expanded discussions of each domain of human complexity allow students to become flexible thinkers who can incorporate the knowledge of their client’s unique backgrounds into their conceptualizations and treatment plans.
  • Evidence-based practice integrated throughout the text supports student comprehension of literature on clinical work and treatment.
KEY FEATURES:
  • Stimulating client interviews provide students context to gather real-world perspectives for formulating conceptualizations.
  • Coverage of seven knowledge bases of clinical work include psychological theory; trauma-informed care; human complexity; intersectionality of oppressions; self-reflection on personal values, strengths, and weaknesses; evidence-based treatment strategies; and effective writing.
  • Integration of theory and practice helps readers develop an understanding of how to think about clients in an in-depth and flexible manner.
  • A variety of theoretical models are included so that students can challenge themselves to think critically about cases using behavioral, cognitive, cognitive-behavioral, feminist, emotion-focused, dynamic, family systems, cultural, constructivist, and transtheoretical perspectives.
