Formulation as a Basis for Planning Psychotherapy Treatment provides clinicians with a theoretical framework that helps them identify a patient's most salient problems and then devise objectives for addressing these problems over progressive phases of treatment. Based on the premise that therapists treat people, not diagnoses, the book presents a formulation system that combines concepts derived from psychodynamic, interpersonal, cognitive-behavioral, and family system approaches to fill the gap between diagnosis and treatment planning. The author has developed and refined his approach to formulation in the more than 20 years since the first edition was published, and the book reflects this evolution while retaining the step-by-step presentation and case-based learning that distinguished the previous volume. The author is a prominent academician and clinician who has devoted much of his career to refining configurational analysis, ensuring that it remains both systematic and integrative.
Clearly written in an informal, confident style, Formulation as a Basis for Planning Psychotherapy Treatment richly illustrates a conceptual system for constructing the psychological component of case formulations. Its common-sense wisdom will benefit mental health clinicians and, by extension, the patients they treat.
