PRACTICEPLANNERS® SERIES PREFACE
Accountability is an important dimension of the practice of psychotherapy. Treatment programs, public agencies, clinics, and practitioners must justify and document their treatment plans to outside review entities in order to be reimbursed for services. The books in the PracticePlanners® series are designed to help practitioners fulfill these documentation requirements efficiently and professionally. They have also proven very beneficial to graduate students as well as young or seasoned practitioners who are looking for suggestions for effective interventions, all of which are best practice or evidence based.
The PracticePlanners® series includes a wide array of treatment planning books including not only the original Complete Adult Psychotherapy Treatment Planner, Child Psychotherapy Treatment Planner, Adolescent Psychotherapy Treatment Planner, and Addictions Treatment Planner, all now being revised and updated for the sixth editions, but also many other Treatment Planners targeted to specialty areas of practice, including:
Co-occurring disorders
Integrated behavioral medicine
College students
Couples therapy
Crisis counseling
Early childhood education
Employee assistance
Family therapy
Group therapy
Intellectual and developmental disability
Juvenile justice and residential care
LGBTQ+
Neuro rehabilitation
Older adults
Parenting skills
Pastoral counseling
Personality disorders
Probation and parole
Psychopharmacology
School counseling and school social work
Severe and persistent mental illness
Sexual abuse victims and offenders
Social work and human services
Special education
Speech-language pathology
Suicide and homicide risk assessment
Veterans and active military duty
Women's issues
In addition, there are three branches of companion books that can be used in conjunction with the Treatment Planners or on their own:
Progress Notes Planners provide a menu of progress statements that elaborate on the client's symptom presentation and the provider's therapeutic intervention. Each Progress Notes Planner statement is directly integrated with the behavioral definitions and therapeutic interventions from its companion Treatment Planner.
Homework Planners include homework assignments designed around each presenting problem (such as anxiety, depression, substance use, anger management, eating disorders, or panic disorder) that is the focus of a chapter in its corresponding Treatment Planner.
Client Education Handout Planners provide brochures and handouts to help educate and inform clients on presenting problems and mental health issues, as well as life skills techniques. The handouts are included on CD-ROMs for easy printing from your computer and are ideal for use in waiting rooms, at presentations, as newsletters, or as information for clients struggling with mental illness issues. The topics covered by these handouts correspond to the presenting problems in the Treatment Planners.
The series also includes:
Evidence-Based Psychotherapy Treatment Planning Video Series, which offers 12 sixty-minute programs that provide step-by-step guidance on how to use empirically supported treatments to inform the entire treatment planning process. In a viewer-friendly manner, Drs. Art Jongsma and Tim Bruce discuss the steps involved in integrating evidence-based treatment (EBT) objectives and interventions into a treatment plan. The research support for the EBTs is summarized, and selected aspects of the EBTs are demonstrated in role-played counseling scenarios.
A companion Treatment Planning software product is also available:
TheraScribe®, the #1 selling treatment planning and clinical recordkeeping software system for mental health professionals. TheraScribe® allows the user to import the data from any of the Treatment Planner, Progress Notes Planner, or Homework Planner books into the software's expandable database to simply point and click to create a detailed, organized, individualized, and customizable treatment plan along with optional integrated progress notes and homework assignments. TheraScribe is available by calling 616-776-1745. Also, see TheraScribe.com for more information.
Adjunctive books, such as The Psychotherapy Documentation Primer and The Clinical Documentation Sourcebook, contain forms and resources to aid the clinician in mental health practice management.
The goal of our series is to provide practitioners with the resources they need in order to provide high-quality care in the era of accountability. To put it simply: We seek to help you spend more time on patients and less time on paperwork.
