PG - 395-399 LID - 10.1177/10398562231172413 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: This paper aims to redress the shortage of published guidance for registrars on selecting suitable patients for the RANZCP Psychotherapy Written Case Summative Assessment. CONCLUSIONS: This article offers a common-sense approach to patient selection using psychiatric nomenclature and organises patients into proposed categories of likely suitable, possibly suitable, and unsuitable. A flowchart tool is offered for screening patients stressing a Global Assessment of Function (GAF) and the premorbid capacity to adhere to social frames such as school, university, employment, and relationships.
