Therapist's Guide to Clinical Intervention: The 1-2-3s of Treatment Planning (Practical Resources for the Mental Health Professional)
"Therapist's Guide to Clinical Interventionis timely and comprehensive. Managed care requires efficiency--this book will help clinicians do their job and do it well!"--MICHAEL F. HOYT, Ph.D., Author,Brief Therapy and Managed Care; Editor,The Handbook of Constructive Therapies and Constructive Therapies, Vols. 1 & 2; Co-editor,The First Session in Brief Therapy"TheTherapist's Guide to Clinical Interventionis not your average text or handbook. It is, instead, a menu of checklists, guidelines, and forms. Sharon L. Johnson's goal is to provide a central resource to the practicing therapist. This resource is particularly important in the current era of managed care which often limits the number of patient appointments, calling for brief solution-oriented interventions as well as extensive documentation. By providing checklists for treatment goals and widely-used forms, this guide becomes an effective time-management tool for the professional therapist... This is highly recommended for practicing therapists as a resource to aid in treatment planning and documentation requirements. While it is not meant to replace education and experience, it can certainly aid the trained therapist as a time-saving tool. It, also, may be a useful addition to libraries which support programs in psychology."--E-STREAMS, February 1999
