Case Formulation: making sense of the information you obtain

In this Case Formulation Module from the APT, you’ll learn how to appraise the 6 P’s of case formulation: the patient’s problem, pre-disposing factors, precipitating factors, perpetuating factors, positive and protective factors and of course, the plan! It enables us to form a powerful strategy to organise the information we obtain in the assessment so we can help the patient as quickly and effectively as possible. And without it, we can be very much ‘stumbling in the dark.’
