CASE STUDY 1 INSTRUCTIONS: The purpose of Case Study 1 is to provide an opportunity to demonstrate course-related knowledge in speaking more "deeply" about 1 specific client. Your case study will identify specific behaviors and how those behaviors are evaluated in light of a specific theory. You will also identify ways that specific behaviors can be addressed in a manner consistent with the theories of your field. (For research-oriented internships, you will identify specific variables being studied and provide rationale for the study.)
With explicit permission from your site supervisor, choose a case, circumstance, or situation at your site. If an appropriate case cannot be obtained from your site, then you may complete a case study on a historical or fictional character.You will need explicit permission from your instructor to use a historical or fictional character.

• Provide information about current behaviors, specifically maladaptive behaviors, and current treatment plans/progress.
• Using knowledge gained in your study of psychology in general and/or your cognate in particular, provide a brief theoretical explanation of your case.
Using knowledge gained in your study of psychology in general and/or your cognate in particular, identify a treatment plan detailing how you would continue to work with this case. (This treatment plan may be hypothetical.)
