The Case Formulation Approach to

"This book addresses a critical challenge in evidence-based psychotherapy: how to use empirically supported treatments (ESTs) in real-world clinical contexts. There are many common situations where ESTs do not provide sufficient guidance for clinical decision making, such as when a patient presents with multiple problems or fails to respond to standard protocols. Pioneering scientist-practitioner Jacqueline B. Persons now offers a theoretically and empirically grounded case formulation framework that helps therapists draw on the best available techniques while tailoring them to the needs of the individual patient." "A major contribution for all clinicians committed to understanding and using what really works in therapy, this book belongs on the desks of practitioners, students, and residents in clinical psychology, psychiatry, counseling, and social work. It will serve as a text in graduate-level courses on cognitive-behavior therapy and in clinical practice."--BOOK JACKET.
