The day lays a great deal of emphasis on the practical application of case formulation to both case studies and/or delegates own cases.
 Can be taken as an individual one-day course or as a part of a Master Practitioner Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Approved by the British Psychological Society Learning Centre.
Case Formulation is the generation of “…a hypothesis about the nature of [the client’s] psychological difficulty (or difficulties) underlying the problems on the [client]’s problem list“ (Persons 1989). The generation of case formulations is a key skill highlighted within a range of therapeutic modalities from CBT to Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and is highly prised by a range of different professional bodies as a key psychotherapeutic skill. Formulations form the basis of both collaboration and the direction for therapy without which therapy can become formulaic or misguided. This one day course explores the key components of CBT Case Formulation, along with options and areas of controversy.
