Discussion: Case Conceptualization

The client that I picked for this post is a male client that has been diagnosis with mild depression.

For the first part of this discussion, complete the following:

• How does your fieldwork site utilize case presentations?
  • Are you required to complete a written document that presents the essential information about a client you are working with? If so, what information is required?
  • Do staff members or interns present cases during staff meetings or trainings? If so, what is included in these presentations?
• Considering one of the clients you have worked with during your fieldwork experience, what elements would you want to include in a case conceptualization, in order to reflect a holistic profile of the client?

  • Just identify the main topics or categories that would form the structure of your case.
• Reflect upon the work you are doing from a theoretical perspective.
  • How would you currently define your main theoretical approach?
