Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Identifying two or three key patterns in the case conceptualization will allow for the determination of working and closing phase goals that are specific to the theory being used. It is important to base these goals on the conceptualization rather than solely on what the client desires, as the theory being used may have specific goals and objectives that are necessary for effective treatment. Formulaic interventions should not be used without considering the individual case conceptualization, and seeking guidance from a colleague or supervisor may be helpful but is not necessary for determining goals.
