    Case Formulation Worksheet

    This Case Formulation is a CBT case conceptualization worksheet. In psychological treatment,


    a case formulation allows therapist and client to come to a shared understanding of the client’s
    presenting problem.

    The four “P’s” of case formulation (Predisposing, Precipitating, Perpetuating, and Protective
    factors) provide a useful framework for organizing the factors that may be contributing to the
    development and maintenance of the problem. This worksheet is designed for therapist and
    client to complete together in session.

    This worksheet includes 4 steps:


    1. Identifying predisposing factors, which are those factors that increase an individual’s
    risk of developing a problem (e.g., genetics, life events, temperament).
    2. Identifying precipitating factors, to gain an understanding of a specific event or trigger
    to the onset of the current problem
    3. Identifying perpetuating factors, to understand what mechanisms may be maintaining
    the current problem
    4. Identifying protective factors, to understand the client’s strengths, social supports, and
    adaptive behavioral patterns
