Maladaptive Interpersonal Relationship Concerns C

As noted in this week’s Introduction, therapist operating from the Interpersonal Psychotherapy approach develop a case conceptualization of the client by assessing who the client is, and how they came to be, based on several factors that are potentially causing distress and maladaptive interpersonal relationship concerns with others. What is important to note here is how the case conceptualization process assists the therapist in building the theoretical framework and the appropriate guideline for treatment.
