Case Conceptualization

Case Conceptualization

Select an individual as the client for your Mock Case Conceptualization. This individual may be someone that you know or even a fictional character. You will need to know a lot about this individual including their background and history in order to complete the Case Conceptualization; however, you can make up a few details that you might be missing. Informed consent is not needed for this assignment since you will not be interviewing your selected individual or disclosing their identity.

Identify a problem for your selected client that can be addressed through counseling.

Prepare a comprehensive intake report and preliminary treatment plan using the Case Conceptualization Guide.
