As clinicians look for resources to assist in learning and mastering this competency, they must choose among different case\u003cbr\u003econceptualization approaches considering those that are both clinically effective and clinician friendly. A truly clinically effective approach explains and guides treatment, and most importantly, predicts challenges and obstacles that are likely to arise over the course of treatment. Most\u003cbr\u003eapproaches emphasize explaning and guiding treatment, but seldom include third function which helps anticipate likely challenges, which if not proactively addressed, are likely to result in therapy interference or premature termination. Research shows that such case conceptualization is essential in\u003cbr\u003edetermining the course and overall effectiveness of therapy. This essential task can be completed in as little as fifteen minutes. A truly clinician-friendly approach is one that is quick to use and easy to master. \u003cem\u003eThe 15 Minutes Case Conceptualization\u003c\/em\u003e is evidence-based, step-by-step approach that\u003cbr\u003eis both highly effective and clinician friendly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLen Sperry, MD, PhD, is Professor and Director of Clinical Training, Mental Health Counseling Department, Florida Atlantic University and Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine, Medical College of Wisconsin. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJon Sperry, PhD, is Associate Professor in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida and is also a staff therapist at the Counseling and Psychological Services at Florida Atlantic University.
