You will be required to develop and write a cognitive conceptualisation from a scenario provided during class in week 5. This assessment will include a 1-page dot-point summary of your formulation using the 5P model, and completion of a CBT case conceptualisation worksheet adapted from Wright, Brown, Thase, & Ramirez Basco, 2017). An Information Sheet, Marking Rubric and the adapted conceptualisation worksheet will be found under the Assessment tab on Moodle in week 1.

This assessment will be marked out of 100 and is worth 40% of your overall grade for this unit.
The Marking Rubric will consist of a Part A (25 marks) and Part B (75 marks) and will be designed in accordance with the information required in a CBT case conceptualisation. A detailed Marking Rubric will be available under the Assessment tab on the unit's Moodle page in week 1.

This assessment will require you to choose five (5) CBT techniques/strategies which you will use yourself for at least three (3) days. You will then provide a written piece explaining what each technique/strategy is, how it is implemented, how you found using the technique/strategy, and how it has altered your perception for use by clients. The word limit for this reflection is 2,500 words (+ or - 10%), not including your reference list. This allows approximately 500 words for each technique/strategy. The materials used by yourself (e.g. automatic thought record etc) are to be added as appendices and submitted with your assessment.
Note: This assessment is one you can commence working on very early in term and space out.
