Treatment Planning for Psychotherapists

Abstract

'Treatment Planning for Psychotherapists' guides the practitioner to develop useful, relevant, and individualized plans, which can assist the clinical work and satisfy outside reviewers as well. The theory of treatment planning is extensively illustrated with clinical examples and case histories. A step-by-step review of assessment, diagnosis, and formulation shows how these elements contribute to planning. Appropriate treatment plans promote good patient–therapist relationships that contribute to successful, effective therapy outcomes. This book is written for individual clinicians, especially those who provide psychotherapy in a private office setting. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
