The Case Study Approach Deciding to write a case study researcher should think about the method itself; along with how it can be used as a tool plus the reasons to use the case study approach. Does it convey truly what they are wanted to get across? Before they start working on a case study; have they thought of all the advantages and disadvantages to using this approach to getting a theory or information out to the world. Once they have reached this point then the researcher must decide how to collect the data/information in which they want to share with the real world. The Case Study Method and Tool Case studies are methods in which usually an individual is observed but sometimes can be a setting such as a school, business, or neighborhood.
Another important aspect of research is the process of scientific theory construction and testing. Scientific theory construction and testing is an intricate and important part of psychology research.

I discovered a way to both objectify and subjectively my personal feelings, perceptions and thoughts, and how to analyze the content when faced with challenging situations. The subjective part consists of the personal experience of the event, whereas the objective part is the fact surrounding the experience. I learned how to be observant in the experience what possible meaning could these observations have in relationship to oppression, privilege and diversity. This experience really opened my eyes as it relates to oppression, privilege, diversity because learning is a process that first begins with concrete experiences and that should lead to reflective observations about the experience. This assignment allowed me the opportunity to conceptualize and test the implications of the experience in future situations that may occur as a social worker.
The DSM’s understanding of an individual is limited to the diagnostic label applied to him or her, which might not necessarily be representative of the true nature of the person (Barone, Maddux, & Snyder, 1997). On the other hand, psychological case formulation understands that behind the individual’s diagnostic label lies a myriad of different causes that could have contributed to the manifestation of the disorder (Macneil et al., 2012). This not only leads to a more in-depth understanding of the client, but may also help to avoid the “pathologising of normal problems in living” (Mullins-Sweatt & Widiger, 2009). Currently, the DSM-5 includes several disorders that might not be necessarily pathological. For example, an individual is said to have Hoarding Disorder when they refuse to get rid of their belongings, no matter the value.
