Abstract
We describe the assessment of a troubled adolescent boy to demonstrate the use of the Shedler–Westen Assessment Profile for Adolescents (CitationWesten, Dutra, & Shedler, 2005) and the Social Cognition and Object Relations Scale–Global (CitationWesten, 1995) to formulate the Mental Functioning for Children and Adolescents Axis (MCA) of the Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual (CitationPDM Task Force, 2006). The assessment made possible a meaningful psychodynamic therapy.
