Case conceptualization is a bridge between the theory and practice of psychological counseling,which mainly has three orientations: therapy orientation, diagnosis orientation and integrationorientation.The therapeutic orientation’s case conceptualization is the one that has been studied and usedthe most, mainly developing cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamics, family therapy, emotionfocused therapy, acceptance commitment therapy and so on. Based on case conceptualization oftherapy, the existing research is mainly constrained by three limitations: lack of case conceptualizationof mainstream therapy; the case conceptualization is limited to specific therapy, and the explorationof related factors is ignored;confirmatory studies are lacking. In order to promote the application anddevelopment of case conceptualization,future research could construct more case conceptualizations ofimportant therapies, such as those based on humanistic therapies;construct more concise, appropriate,easy-to-use and therapy-specific case conceptualization ; enrich confirmatory studies of caseconceptualization.
