Psychotherapy Case Formulation: How to Complete a Clinical Case Report

You have to complete a Psychotherapy Case Formulation following these steps:

1. Select a person (either a relative -Not a close one-; a friend-NOT a close one-, or someone who can collaborate with  you on this assignment; the case has to be based on  a REAL person, not necessarily a patient. It is the responsibility of the student to take care of any “Ethical Issue” related to the selection of the case to work with). You will work with this person “as if he/she would be  a patient”. The objective of this activity is to have  “hands on”, role playing  experience of interacting with a real person  as a “psychologist”.
