Content Summary:
Case formulation can be described as ‘a working hypothesis’ or ‘best guess’ about a child’s presenting difficulty (Johnstone and Dallos, 2014). It takes into account the child’s life experiences, circumstances, relationships, education and their strengths. Case formulation can highlight patterns of behaviour, help with ideas on how to engage children and identify their needs guiding intervention planning.
This workshop focuses on the use of case formulation specifically with children who present with high risk behaviours and complex needs. The training will provide those working with children in the youth justice system with the relevant psychological theory and practice based skills to undertake such forensic case formulations.
Attendees will learn how they can develop more robust and developmentally attuned understandings of the development and maintenance of problem behaviours. The planning of interventions and how these are sequenced will be discussed.
