The 4 P’s in case conceptualization:









Predisposing: those factors that render an individual vulnerable to a disorder
Precipitating: stressors or developmental factors that are associated with the emergence or worsening of symptoms
Perpetuating: factors that maintain the disabling symptoms
Protective: strengths & assets that may be accessed to promote more healthy adjustment and diminish the severity of symptoms Watch the entire workshop on Applications of CBT to Address Emotional Functioning in Youth with ASD: Understanding mental health problems and ASD – evidence-based case conceptualization to inform treatment planning here: [ Ссылка ]
