For your final project, you will apply the information that you have learned in this course to critically analyze a case study and develop a case conceptualization based on what you have learned. You will choose a case from the samples provided and work through the case by completing the case conceptualization template. This Assignment is designed to resemble the process that counselors do in the field as they work through a case from start to finish.

To begin, you need to review and select a case study from the media resource in Learning Resources. The final project will be evaluated according to the rubric provided in the Course Information Area; be sure to review this document. While this template does not require APA format, it does require graduate- level writing. There is a place for references at the end of the document where you should list course readings and outside research used to support your work.
