About the Book

Now in a completely revised and expanded second edition, this indispensable Handbook and text brings together leading proponents of the major therapeutic approaches to provide a complete guide to case formulation. Following a consistent format, chapters review the conceptual underpinnings of the respective case formulation models, consider their relationship to therapeutic technique, and offer practical, step-by-step instructions, illustrated with clinical material. Updated with current advances in psychotherapy training and research, all chapters in the second edition include student-friendly examples of completed formulations. Two new chapters address multicultural considerations - a theme that is also woven throughout the book - and provide an integrative overview of the various approaches.
