Formulation
Team formulation is a growing area of interest and practice, as described and summarised in the BPS Good practice Guidelines on the use of psychological formulation (2011), and is recommended as a core skill in DCP professional documents (eg 'New ways of working in teams', Onyett 2007.) A growing amount of research indicates that it can have benefits in a wide range of areas, including creating more effective intervention plans, improving staff morale, supporting staff with complex and challenging clients, managing difficult team dynamics and shifting team cultures.
