ABSTRACT

This chapter outlines how the individual case is conceptualised using the framework of the Cooper et al. (2004) model of BN combined with a more recent shift to metacognitive emphasis, and how socialisation into the model can be achieved. It presents a detailed case conceptualisation interview as a proforma that can be used to formulate an individual case, together with sample worksheets for recording this information. It also introduces useful speci®c assessment measures that can assist with formulation, and the process of treatment. The section on socialisation introduces important points to be conveyed to the patient about therapy, and some suggestions for demonstrating the model.
