Treatment planners💕

Counselors and therapists will love these books for report writing and treatment planning. You can look up by dx and jot down interventions and tx.

Evidence Based Treatment Now Included

This 4th edition of the Child Psychotherapy Treatment Planner has been revised to include Evidence Based Treatment (EBT) Objectives and Interventions. The latest research evidence has been integrated into the content of most of the chapters. Those Objectives and Interventions that go beyond "Best Practice" to being based on replicable reseach results are highlighted with an EBT symbol. Now the reader can be assured that all the latest research has been reviewed and suggestions for treatment based on successful results are noted in those chapters where research evidence exists. Where there is not sufficient research evidence available for a presenting problem, best practice interventions continue to be suggested. As federal funding sources as well as some other third party payers are beginning to insist on treatment based on research evidence, this Planner offers just such Interventions. Please be reminded that all of our psychotherapy suggestions assume a compassionate relationship of empathy that is crucial for effective treatment. Good psychotherapists realize the critical importance of a therapeutic relationship while delivering research informed treatment.

Tx Planner Review

I work as an MSW in community mental health. I found this book very helpful in the writing of treatment plans!

love this book!

I have trully enjoyed using this book in my practice. It is true that the objectives dont come as specific and measurable as some would want to, but i think it is better that way because i can adjust them to be appropriate for each client. All u need is creativity. I recommend this book to those who would want to facilitate writing their CCCP's for LA County DMH paperwork. I'm sure it would be good for other types of paperwork.

great for ideas

a great book to give you ideas and giude treatment planning. I've used lots of books in this series and i like them all.
