Measures Assessing the Quality of Case Conceptualization: A Systematic Review
Sandra Bucci1, Lorna French1, Katherine Berry1
1The University of Manchester.
Context:
The quality of case conceptualization differs across clinicians. It is unclear which case conceptualization quality assessment measure researchers, clinicians, and trainers might use for their specific purpose.
Objective:
We evaluated measures that purport to assess the quality of case conceptualizations.
Method:
We searched EMBASE, PubMed, Medline, and PsycINFO databases with the terms case formulation* OR case conceptuali*ation*. Further specific terms were then used to narrow the search.
Results:
Of all the articles reviewed, 8 measures of case conceptualization met inclusion criteria. There is no single measure that has been validated across a range of different settings. However, the Case Conceptualisation Coding Rating Scale, Case Formulation Content Coding Method, and Case Formulation Quality Checklist have been most robustly tested.
Conclusion:
Further research is required to test the psychometric properties of measures so that robust quality measures can be used across different settings/client groups.
