Synopsis

The Elements of Psychological Case Report Writing in Australia is a comprehensive and applied review of material required for basic case conceptualisation and report writing in Australia. This book is the first of its kind to offer a one-step resource to success in submitting concise case reports that demonstrate basic applied psychological competence. For anyone looking to submit case reports to the Psychology Board of Australia to support their application for general registration this is an absolute must-have resource.

Most notably this book provides:

Numerous assessment focused and intervention focused case report examples:

• A presentation of case report requirements for 4+2 and 5+1 internship programs;
• A review of important case conceptualisation areas necessary for applied psychological understanding;
• Time management tips and guidance for making focused progress on the production of required case report and avoiding procrastination.

Both early career and experienced psychologists will find the case reports illustrative of various assessments and interventions in applied psychology in Australia. No other resource has collected together in one place multiple case reports illustrating the use of so many assessment instruments nor such a variety of interventions for the treatment of psychological difficulties in Australia.
