Case Conceptualization: Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

CASE PRESENTATION:CASE CONCEPTUALIZATION (CP-CC)ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONSOVERVIEWThis is the second part of your Case Presentation Assignment. This is called a formative assignment in that you will get to “practice” the case conceptualization (CC) process. This an important step towards the development of an effective treatment plan. It is the middle part of the “golden thread” when working with a client. By offering a sound CC, you are creating a focused problem areas (step 2 of inverted pyramid model, IPM) that directly translates to the treatment plan format, theoretical buckets (e.g., cognitive and behavioral maladaptations, if using CBT), and an etiological understanding (e.g., maladaptive core beliefs) which are driving the maladaptive thinking and actions.

COUC 667Page 2 of 24)Write up part 2 of the IPM. See p. 90 of Switzer and Rubin for guidance. This is the “atheoretical” grouping of part 1. Make sure to document in the assignment which of the 4 thematic grouping approaches was used for step 2. 5)Next write part 3 of the IPM. This where you apply your chosen counseling theory (psychodynamic, CBT, etc.). Use only 1 theory. As a counselor-in-training, you do not have a solid foundation for more than one theory as it takes years to master. As such, you would be operating unethically and potentially illegally, based on ACA code of ethics (2014) – core professional value 5; C.2.b; C.2.f; and E.5.b. You will use your chosen theory to determine the etiology, deeper theoretical inferences. From a CBT lens it is the core belief, from a psychodynamic the drives, instincts, unconscious factors that are driving the themes in step 3 of the model and ultimately the signs and symptoms observed in step 1 during the assessment and diagnosis process.6)After completing the IPM, it is now time to write up the CC narrative. The CC narrative is where you apply your chosen theory to explain (not describe, as you did in the diagnostic impression) what is going on with the client. You use key theory-based concepts and terms to explain why a client is experiencing their signs, symptoms, problems. 7)You do not do a Christian integration in the CC narrative. Only use your secular counseling theory.

I attached the instructions, a template for this assignment and step 1 that preceded this assignment as this one is supposed to be step 2. I also attached a case file about the character we are doing a case conceptualization about
This assignment is about a fictional character from a TV show, called 24 and his name is Jack Bauer.
