Clinical Case Studies is a bimonthly peer-reviewed medical journal that covers the field of psychotherapy, including individual, couples, and family therapy. The editor-in-chief is Daniel L. Segal (University of Colorado, Colorado Springs). It was established in 2002 and is published by SAGE Publications. In medicine, a case report is a detailed report of the symptoms, signs, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of an individual patient. Case reports may contain a demographic profile of the patient, but usually describe an unusual or novel occurrence. Some case reports also contain a literature review of other reported cases. Case reports are professional narratives that provide feedback on clinical practice guidelines and offer a framework for early signals of effectiveness, adverse events, and cost. They can be shared for medical, scientific, or educational purposes. A case report is generally considered a type of anecdotal evidence.
