Abstract

The primary aim of this chapter is to present the argument for the use of case Formulation as a clinical tool for use within psychology generally and the stress and coping context specifically. The first section of this chapter presents a rationale for introducing case formulation as an applied tool within this context. To demonstrate the relevance of case formulation as a clinical tool, references are made to the wider stress and coping literature. An overview of case formulation is then presented alongside a description of a generic case formulation framework. The potential application of this framework within stress and coping is then exemplified through two separate case study examples. Both case studies convey the benefits of this approach to the application of theory to practice within stress and coping. Finally, practical implications and recommendations are discussed.
