Toward comprehensive case conceptualizations in counseling: A visual integrative technique.

Abstract

This article introduces a visual method designed to assist counseling practitioners in the development o/client problem conceptualizations. A visual display of nine information categories essential for counseling conceptualization is introduced. The categories are described and conceptual relationships between them are cited, discussed, and displayed using a second visual technique with a case example. Suggestions are included for use of the technique at prepracticum, beginning practicum, and advanced levels of training.

Chalkboard case conceptualization: A method for integrating clinical data.

Hence, specific instruction in integrating clinical data is essential to cultivate integrative case conceptualization competencies.…”

Humanizing a Technological Society: Ethical Implications for the Counselor

Evaluation of a clinical assessment seminar for interns.

“…Various components of assessment skills training have been described in the psychology literature. Numerous authors (Hulse & Jennings, 1984;Kanfer & Saslow, 1969;Lazarus, 1976;Nay, 1979) have described formats for client conceptualization and diagnosis. Hummel (1979) and Vriend and Kottler (1980) recommended outlines for initial interviews.…”
