Assignment Content
As you continue to develop your case conceptualization skills, you will focus on integrating a theoretical perspective into your evaluation of clients. Theoretical perspectives help us explain behavior and determine appropriate treatment interventions.
In this assignment, you will focus on viewing your client through the lens of your chosen theoretical perspective as you complete the biopsychosocial assessment and case conceptualization.
Read 1 of the following cases from Ch. 4, “Bipolar and Related Disorders,” of The Clinical Assessment Workbook: Balancing Strengths and Differential Diagnosis:
Case 4.1
Case 4.2
Case 4.3

If a Mini Mental Status Exam isn’t completed, indicate that in the cognitive section of the Mental Status part of the assessment.
Although the case study may not provide in-depth information for all sections of the biopsychosocial assessment, please use the information as provided and note if there is no information given for a specific area.
