Clinical formulation lies at the heart of how mental health
professionals understand psychological distress. It is the
application of a framework that cohesively integrates scientific
knowledge with the symptoms of distress. In essence, it is the
creation of order to what is often experienced as disorder. The aim
of this book is to bring awareness to the theoretical and practical
opportunities for mental health professionals that exists by using
atypical information when adapting typical formulation models. Each
chapter reflects some variation in how formulation is defined,
conceptualised and practiced, by using information that regularly
materializes from professional encounters but often is omitted from
the formulation of a particular presenting problem. Chapters on
diet and exercise, sleep, spirituality, sexuality and
meaning-making highlight how approaches to formulation can be
extended to provide additional opportunities for intervention for
the client and practitioner. A professional encounter orientated in
the manner proposed will generate a type of formulation that will
raise interesting and testable hypotheses that can assist in
understanding 'stuck' points in therapy, difficulties within the
therapeutic relationship, low motivation or inability to engage in
particular approaches and will assist in devising person-specific
mental health interventions. This book will appeal to clinical
psychologists and psychotherapists in practice and training.
