The only journal devoted entirely to psychotherapy case studies, Clinical Case Studies presents innovative psychotherapy cases involving individual, couples, and family therapy. Whether you are a psychologist, counselor, psychiatrist, clinical social worker, family therapist, professor or student of psychotherapy, you’ll find Clinical Case Studies to be a necessary part of your library. The easy-to-follow case presentation format allows you to learn how interesting and challenging cases were assessed and conceptualized, and how treatment followed such conceptualization.
