Psychology Oral Exam Study Tips and Psychology Oral Exam Preparation:

In psychology, a good clinical case conceptualization should tell a story. Think about a character in a book or a film.  By definition, a conceptualization is a theoretically based understanding of a client, who she is and why she behaves as she does.  It contains a history of the client, which is theoretically based and also includes a formulation of the client’s problems (Berman, 1997).  In essence, a good conceptualization helps to generate a well-rounded, deeper and more richly layered understanding of who that character is.
