Case conceptualization

Stuck-case hypothesis generator

For a stalled case, generate alternative conceptual hypotheses and fresh perspectives — interpretation stays with the clinician.

Pro access required. Review the current offer in the app before paying.

The task

When this tool helps

Progress feels stalled and you want alternative questions for reflection or supervision.

Why use a dedicated tool?

The dedicated form gives you named inputs for this task. Pro makes therapeutic orientation available in the current tool, so you can adjust those settings without composing a new instruction each time.

Pro access covers the settings marked Pro. Check the offer, usage limits, and renewal terms shown in your app before paying.

From input to draft

A concrete example

Fictional material

Sample input

What you bring

Fictional case: a client agrees to detailed weekly tasks but rarely completes them. They say the tasks make sense, yet appear hesitant when planning. Ask for three tentative explanations and ways to explore them.

Illustrative draft

Possible questions: Is the task too demanding? Does it fit the client's own priorities? Is there something difficult to voice in the planning conversation? Explore each collaboratively rather than assuming resistance.

Written to illustrate the task; this is not a captured Psy output. It is a draft for professional review.
