RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE:: To demonstrate how the Pattern-based Formulation can be used to integrate biological, psychological and sociocultural factors in constructing the case formulation in a patient who developed schizophrenia and post-psychotic depression. CONCLUSIONS:: Three new patterns are introduced and used to construct a comprehensive case formulation. This expands the suite of patterns in the pattern-based method of psychiatric case formulation, and further demonstrates its broad utility as an educational resource in psychiatry training.

OBJECTIVES: To teach psychiatric case formulation; to build a repertoire of patterns that can be reused as building blocks in constructing case formulations. METHOD: Pattern-based Formulation. RESULTS: Demonstration of a case formulation and introducing three patterns. CONCLUSION: The demonstration will assist learning case formulation using the Pattern-based Formulation, while the three patterns introduced can be reused when formulating relevant cases.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to determine if pattern-based formulation (PBF) can accurately contribute to case formulation. CONCLUSIONS: The application of three PBFs accurately contributed to the development of this patient's case formulation. The case formulation demonstrated here, and the patterns introduced in this paper, will serve as educational materials for teaching psychiatric case formulation.
