Abstract
Case formulation refers to the appraisal of the individual data and
the treatment plan in terms of certain principles. In psychotherapy, case formulation is relevant for the recognition of conceptual
and clinical tools as well as for the evaluation of the therapeutic
endeavor. Artwork (painting) provides an effective tool for case
formulation because it allows the individual to express his/her
thoughts and emotions, which are prone to the influences of subconscious drives, conflicts, fears, and desires in a symbolic fashion. In this study, case formulation of a 31-year-old woman, who
cannot overcome her verbal and physical aggressive behaviors,
is presented. For case formulation, four sessions of artwork are
used. The main purpose of the present case is to discuss the use
of creative artwork as a means for case formulation in dynamic
psychotherapy
