Synopsis

Using compelling client interviews and skill-building exercises, this practical book shows students how to tailor clinical work to the specific background of a client using any theoretical perspective. Thoroughly revised and expanded, the Third Edition of Case Conceptualization and Treatment Planning, by Pearl S. Berman, adds two new theoretical orientations (cultural therapy and the cognitive-behavioral model) and includes exercises for expanding student self-awareness of personal biases.
