How this document is used well
A good case report demonstrates three things: that you can state a theory precisely, that you can apply it to particular material without distorting either, and that you know what your chosen approach cannot do. The third is what separates a strong report from a competent one.
| Section | What markers look for |
|---|---|
| Formulation | Theory-specific constructs applied to this person’s actual material, not generic |
| Plan | Interventions that follow from the formulation, sequenced, with a rationale |
| Evidence | Accurate account of the support for this approach with this presentation, including its limits |
| Alternatives | A serious account of what another approach would do differently, and why you chose as you did |
| Ethics & culture | Identity, context and power treated as constitutive, not appended in a final paragraph |
