Clinical Case Studies

With the growing number of clinical psychology programs in Turkey, it can be seen that there is a dearth of English language case studies that includes both Turkish and foreign clients. Many colleagues and students have echoed this point, expressing a need for a relevant, accessible, and informative guide to writing and analyzing clinical case material. It was for the purposes of meeting this need that we designed and organized this book. This book is a collection of various evidence-based, commonly used theoretical perspectives. It provides students with examples of how to analyze, organize, and interpret case material through the lens of various major psychological frameworks such as psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, humanistic, and internal family systems theory. The clinicians contributing to this book are a diverse mix of Turkish and American psychologists writing about cases that they have encountered in their practice.
