Index.

"This volume provides examples of case formulations representing the most common mental health problems. Each case is described, and then followed by two contrasting formulations and a commentary from a different perspective. These examples provide readers with clear models of case formulations, and highlight the different constructs and world views that characterize alternate theoretical approaches to case formulation."
