Guidance
You need to think as if you are a clinical psychologist working in a psychology team, and you have been given Lydia as a client/patient to work with. Please answer the questions below. You need to use JUST TWO of the following THREE approaches:
- Cognitive behavioural therapy
- Psychoanalytic approach
- Systemic approach
You can choose which of the TWO above approaches you want to use when working on your case study. You can also draw very briefly on other therapeutic theories that you have learnt on this module, e.g., therapeutic alliance, attachment theory and anything else that could be relevant and helpful. However, the TWO approaches that you choose must be the main focus throughout the assignment.
You need to divide your submission into the following five sections, and you can use each question as a subheading for the section.
The word counts for each question are just a guideline. However, 2,000 is the maximum word limit in total, however you choose to divide it up.
This is not an essay so JUST TYPE OUT EACH QUESTION AND ANSWER THIS
1) 1a) Provide a formulation, also known as a case conceptualization, of Lydia’s difficulties based on the principles of ONE of your two chosen approaches 1b) do the same for your OTHER chosen approach (in total the answer to question should be around 500 words, so 250 approximately for each formulation).
2) Compare and contrast the ways in which these two approaches explain L y d i a ’ s mental health difficulties and challenges (300 words).
3) Provide recommendations for therapy interventions that follow from EACH of the two approaches. Make sure that you include the specific elements and stages of each intervention/therapy approach, together with explanations of how they are intended to achieve their aims (600 words, which could be around 300 for each approach).
4) Give a brief critical overview of the clinical research/outcome evidence that supports the two therapeutic approaches (400 words).
5) Reflect on how your own personal beliefs and experiences have shaped your choices and responses in formulating this coursework (200 words).
