Abstract

The authors propose the action formulation (TAF), a heuristic for clinical case formulation. The action formulation relies on the action perspective, which depicts individuals as actively shaping their environment, and is premised upon four guidelines: (a) map the client's social environment, focusing on sources of support, chronic interpersonal difficulties, and negative and positive life events; (b) identify how the clients, in the context of their personalities, psychopathologies, and strengths, actively influence their environment; (c) differentiate between maladaptive, risk‐related, interpersonal cycles, and adaptive, protective‐based ones; and (d) tailor integrative techniques to short‐circuit the former cycles and bolster the latter ones. Links between TAF and emerging issues in clinical assessment are discussed. Β© 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Psychol 62: 1115–1127, 2006.

A general formulation for discrete-time quantum mechanics, based on Feynman's method in ordinary quantum mechanics, is presented. It is shown that the ambiguities present in ordinary quantum mechanics (due to noncommutativity of the operators), are no longer present here. Then the criteria for the u
