To this day I can still recall the names Judge Lance Ito, Marcia Clark (Deputy District Attorney), and Simpson’s defense counsel, “The Dream Team,” which consisted of a number of high-profile attorneys, most notably Robert Shapiro and Johnnie Cochran. I chose this case because it left a lasting impression in my memory, as well as a lasting impression in our nation’s memory.

  • Client-Centered Case Conceptualization Paper

    1471 Words  | 3 Pages

    Using a client-centered framework, a psychotherapist can conceptualize a client’s symptoms in a variety of different ways based on the symptoms that they present. For clients like Mary, the psychotherapist would first conceptualize her symptoms, and then treat these symptoms overtime in therapy sessions. As clients continue to attend these sessions, there is usually some type of improvement that is seen overtime. This improvement may also lead to a change in their attitude and behavior. Within these sessions as well, the therapist looks at factors outside of therapy that may indicate that the client has improved. If the client indeed shows improvement based off of these factors, there are final results that can be clearly witnessed. Mary is truly an amazing client to focus on in order to visualize how this process works from the eyes of a psychotherapist.
