Configurational analysis for case formulation.
Diagnosis by DSM-IV is seldom sufficient to the task of planning and conducting treatment by psychotherapy. Formulation is vital for the task. I have developed a formulation approach called configurational analysis, and usually employ this tool in my work with individual adult cases. However, in this paper, I have also applied it to an evaluation session of a small, three-person family.
