3 Column Worksheet For A Family Therapy Case Formulation

Family therapy case formulation is hard, and it's easy to blur your modalities the moment you sit down to organize a session. In this episode of 15 Minutes of Family Systems, I share the simple tool I use to keep a family case formulation systemic instead of sliding into attachment styles, DSM diagnoses, and learning labels.The video is here: https://youtu.be/F0zSbt6VwPEIt's three columns on one page, about twenty minutes of your time. History on the left, beliefs in the middle, and the behavioral loop on the right. You read it left to right and fill it in right to left, and once it's finished it hands you three things: who belongs in the room, where the resistance will come from, and the one or two places where pushing will actually work.If you want a systemic case conceptualization that also writes your treatment plan, this one's for you. The worksheet, the circular questions, and a full worked-through case walkthrough are all inside my free Family Systems Collective community.
