Abstract

Case conceptualization is the ability to understand difficulties in terms of client´s history and the current context of the problem. The use of CBT strategies can be competently implemented when they are selected according to the case conceptualization, they are used professionally, and at the right time. The supervisor helps the therapist in supervision by with questions to recognize the broader background of the case conceptualization. The supervisor uses several approaches (like education, guided discovery, imagination, role playing) in which therapist can realize what didn't think about before and what is significant for understanding of the client and what need to be changed. Problems with the conceptualization might be connected with the difficulty of gaining information from the client, the lack of knowledge or practice of the supervisee or to their tendency hurry up which can product to the preliminary use the problem-solving strategies. However, the problems with the formulation can be influenced by numerous influences from the therapist surroundings as a demanding for rapid outcomes, time pressure, economic requirements and so on.
