Case Conceptualization

The paper should be on a child or adolescent that is either a patient you are working with or a mock client taken from a book or movie. Approach this paper as the treating therapist on the case.

The components of the paper include an overview of the case (e.g. presenting problem, behavioral observations, assessment of developmental stage, risk, and resilience factors, etc.), and chosen theory (e.g. psychodynamic, family systems, client centered, play therapy etc.). Provide a theoretical case conceptualization using your chosen theory.


The case conceptualization should address the etiology of your client’s presenting problems, providing a deeper understanding of the origin of issues. Please also include a diagnosis and how your arrived at your diagnosis (differential dx). Additionally, you will need to provide a treatment plan (the treatment plan must be based off the theory chosen to conceptualize the client and provide research in support of the effectiveness and limitations of the treatment (please use only peer reviewed journal articles or works by primary authors, no textbooks). Lastly, you will need to address multicultural,

legal and/or ethical considerations (reflect on transference and countertransference issues). This is a 10-12-page paper (excluding title and reference pages), and you will need to cite at least 4-5 references to support your work.
You must use APA 7th edition format. Please do not refer to yourself in first person.
