The comprehensive approach helps readers develop their professional identities as well as their case conceptualization and intervention skills.

Using an innovative new Temporal/Contextual (T/C) Model, the book provides an easy-to-apply and practical framework for developing accurate and effective case conceptualizations and treatment plans.
