Reviews

“While multiple studies show that clinicians view case conceptualization skills as challenging to acquire…the essential message of this new edition of Case Conceptualization is that developing a sound and useful case conceptualization is readily achievable.… I urge anyone interested in learning case conceptualization or honing their skills in this area to study this book closely.” Tracy D. Eells, PhD, University of Louisville; editor of the Handbook of Psychotherapy Case Formulation, 3rd edition “This excellent resource offers a clear model for case conceptualization that not only addresses accreditation standards for counseling, psychology, and social work programs, but also helps mental health practitioners meet practical challenges of treatment planning. Weaving in different theory-based examples and issues related to AI, rehabilitation counseling, and addictions, this book brings case conceptualization alive.” John Sommers-Flanagan, PhD, University of Montana; co-author of Clinical Interviewing, 7th edition “An indispensable resource for every clinician, this third edition by Sperry and Sperry masterfully guides readers through the essential process of developing and implementing therapeutic case conceptualizations. With clarity and depth, they illuminate how to tailor conceptualizations to diverse theoretical approaches and real-world clinical cases. This book is a must-have for therapists seeking to bring structure, focus, and intentionality to their work.” Michael D. Reiter, PhD, Capella University; editor of Case Conceptualization in Couple Therapy
