Case conceptualizations are a very important factor for up and coming counselors. They allow us to work through finding a theory that will possibly be used throughout a career. Working through each part of a case conceptualization helps ups when we get to practicum and beyond.

A is an activating event which is the client not doing as well as she usually does in her residency program. B is a belief; the clients’ belief is she must be the best or else she has failed.

PCT aims to promote therapeutic change by collaborating with clients to achieve the following: psychodynamically interpret and understand their cognitive patterns; gain insight on how these emerged and may be cyclically affecting their current behavior, motivations, interpersonal relations and mental states; challenge these cognitively; and test them behaviorally and interpersonally both within and outside the therapeutic parameters. While cyclical psychodynamic therapy employs a psychodynamic relational orientation to inform client conceptualization (Gold & Wachtel, 1993), PCT draws focus on dysfunctional thinking patterns (Beck & Weishar, 2008), that have emerged from a particular MMC constellation (including relational psychodynamics) and
