Comparative Case Conceptualization
Students will be writing a comparative case conceptualization, where students will use a case to compare and contrast two theoretical orientations to explain how symptoms developed, how to effectively treat symptoms and improve functioning, and what continues to reinforce symptoms in the person. Students may choose a case from the list provided on Canvas, use a current/former case (deidentified), movie character, or personal acquaintance (deidentified) to develop a case conceptualization. Students will write a biopsychosocial background on the patient, possible diagnoses, and effective treatments.
