What does clinical case conceptualization in play therapy mean and does it really matter? 🙄
Case conceptualization is your ability to ask all the necessary questions that get to the roots of the issue so you know what to focus on in play therapy to help your clients and their parents.
Skipping the initial diagnostic session to gather all the important details of the problem is not necessarily the best way to help your clients get the best results in play therapy.
If you find yourself feeling lost and confused about why your clients are struggling and not sure how to help them, it’s probably because you haven’t taken the time to develop your initial clinical conceptualization.
It’s an important clinical skill for play therapists to develop so you can maximize your clients’ abilities to heal using play therapy.
Join me for this weekly podcast. In this episode, I’ll explain what is case conceputalization and tips for formulating your case conceptualization so you can make a difference in the lives of your clients.
