Tracy D. Eells, PhD, is a clinical psychologist, a professor in the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, and vice provost for faculty affairs at the University of Louisville. He maintains an individual psychotherapy practice, working with adults presenting with a wide variety of relationship, mood, anxiety and life problems. He regularly supervises clinical psychology graduate students and psychiatry residents. Psychological assessment is also a major part of his practice. In addition to publishing many journal articles and book chapters, he is the editor of the Handbook of Psychotherapy Case Formulation, now in its second edition.
Formulating cases is an essential component of psychotherapy training and practice. Yet beginning therapists often struggle to organize their ideas about the client and apply theory to the case. This book is based on the author amp rsquo s extensive experience teaching case formulation to graduate students. It describes a highly adaptable and evidence-based framework for conceptualizing clients and planning treatment. Applicable to both simple and complex cases, the model can be used regardless of one amp rsquo s theoretical orientation. Readers are introduced to basic concepts that include the benefits of case formulation, sound decision-making, and the importance of cultural considerations, and then are led step-by-step through the action-oriented components of the model.
This book is an indispensable aid for novice and experienced therapists seeking to develop and improve upon this core competency.
