title: Formulation: a multiperspective model.
abstract: This paper presents a model of formulation that can be used by psychiatrists and other mental health professionals. A review of the literature indicates a need for a more comprehensive approach that can accommodate a variety of perspectives, suggest treatment and can be easily recalled. These issues are addressed by the multiperspective grid presented in this paper.
