Assignment:

Therapeutic Conceptualization and Treatment Modality

Refer to information provided in your text.

Briefly answer the following:

1. Choice of "therapeutic perspective and modalities," the treatment perspectives and methods listed in your text, is the perspective that would probably be your treatment preference if you were a therapist or patient; the techniques you would use to treat maladaptive behavior.

• If you were a therapist or patient, which therapeutic perspective would you prefer and why? Use the perspectives and treatment methods from your text for examples.

2. Choice of "conceptualization" perspective can be different. Conceptualization is a mental framework you use to simply understand why people engage in maladaptive behaviors. It is not unusual for therapists to use one perspective for conceptualization, and a different perspective (or multiple perspectives) for therapeutic intervention.

• If you were a therapist, which conceptualization perspective might you attain to? For example, when analyzing WHY people feel or act the way they do, might you focus more on unconscious past experience (Psychoanalytic), self-defeating thoughts (Cognitive), environmental reinforcers (Behavioral), lack of self-worth (Humanistic), influence of personality characteristics (Trait), etc.
• Provide an example of a behavior and how you would conceptualize it.
