Abstract
AbstractObjectivesTeam formulation involves a multidisciplinary team coming together to understand the factors leading to the development and maintenance of a patient's problems and the implications of this for future care planning.MethodThis paper presents a case example describing this approach in an acute inpatient setting.Results“William” was a 59‐year‐old male with longstanding mental health difficulties. During his admission, he presented as verbally abusive, intrusive, and sexually inappropriate. He was also controlling and intimidating toward other patients. Staff were becoming frustrated and hopeless about managing William on the ward leading them to adopt inconsistent approaches in relating to him. A team formulation was developed to understand William's trauma history and how this impacted on his beliefs about himself and other people as well as his way of relating to others.ConclusionsThe team formulation helped staff to develop consistent care plans in relation to William's presentation on the ward and more empathy in relation to behaviors that they found challenging.
