COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL ORIENTATION: CASE CONCEPTUALIZATION 

For this Discussion, you will write a case conceptualization as though you were a cognitive behavioral counselor. Continue to refer to and incorporate previous Instructor feedback as you examine these cases.

As you review this week’s Learning Resources and media files, note techniques and interventions, and consider the role of a cognitive behavioral counselor in planning treatment. Further, reflect on cognitive behavioral therapy with respect to developing your own theoretical orientation. In what ways do you find that cognitive behavioral therapy may resonate with your own point of view?

Note: These are not the full assignment directions! Be sure to read the entire Discussion assignment directions for how to prepare your initial post, what you are posting, and how to respond to your colleagues.
