Assessment and case formulation

"Assessment and case formulation" as a book category encompasses texts that teach how to systematically gather, integrate, and interpret information about an individual to understand their difficulties and plan interventions. These books cover assessment methods (clinical interviewing, psychometrics, behavioral observation, collateral data, risk and functional assessments), diagnostic reasoning and differential diagnosis, and frameworks for building case formulations (biopsychosocial, cognitive‑behavioral, psychodynamic, systemic, and trauma‑informed models). They emphasize tailoring formulation to cultural, developmental, and contextual factors, translating assessment data into testable hypotheses about causal and maintaining factors, and using formulations to guide treatment planning, outcome measurement, and risk management. Aimed at clinicians, trainees, and allied professionals, the category includes practical guides, structured templates, case examples, and evidence‑based approaches that bridge assessment and treatment.
