The Family Journal: Counseling and Therapy for Couples and Families

Abstract

Teaching students and supervisees to develop family case conceptualizations has been a major challenge for many instructors and supervisors. However, when presented with cases that compare and contrast a family case conceptualization with an individual case conceptualization, the learning process is greatly facilitated. Both individual and family case conceptualizations are defined. Two cases are presented with both individual and family case conceptualizations; one involves a complex medical condition.
