"The Clinician's Thesaurus is a very readable reference, with practical utility for beginning clinicians.

"I've been using the Clinician's Thesaurus since the first one came out. It has been such a fantastic tool that I purchased several for other clinicians. It's good for more than writing reports--one can learn a great deal in one's clinical work. I have recently left a community mental health center where I worked for nine years doing intakes, assessments, and diagnoses. I can't tell you how valuable your book has been to me." --Sister Dorothy Maloney, RSM, DMin
"I wish I'd had this book when I was in graduate school. It would have made my life a lot easier, made my reports better, and speeded my development as a clinician." --Paul Loera, Ph.D.

From the Back Cover
"I have used the Clinician's Electronic Thesaurus for several years. As my practice has changed with the advent of managed care and the increased demands for reports, this software has helped me keep current on appropriate diagnostic terminology. It provides dynamic, clinically correct descriptions and phraseology that I can easily import into a report without it sounding 'canned,' as I have experienced with other programs. I can produce fresh, pertinent, well-written professional reports in less than half the time. I would recommend it wholeheartedly to colleagues in any related discipline, whether they are producing court reports, managed care reports, custody reports or the myriad others that are demanded of busy professionals." Nora Fleming Young, PhD, Independent Counseling Psychologist
"The Clinician's Electronic Thesaurus is the greatest communication assistant I have ever used. The format of this tool is so user-friendly that it is actually inviting. I can always have the most accurate word before me at the press of a button. It could not be easier and my reports are more professional. This software has transformed my writing skills." C. Dale Ackley, PhD, DMin, Board Certified Expert in Traumatic Stress --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Every clinician will benefit!,
By DeeAnna Merz (Rumson, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Clinician's Thesaurus, 4th Edition: The Guidebook for Writing Psychological Reports (Spiral-bound)
This guidebook offers so much you will use it time and time again. With sections on what questions to ask, different formats for writing reports and progress notes, abbreviations, DSM reference, and medical conditions that masquerade as mental illness, you will find this book invaluable. Great for students who are new to diagnosis and report writing and a wonderful tool for the skilled clinician in avoiding stale reports and progress notes.

Excellent resource,

This review is from: Clinician's Thesaurus, 6th Edition: The Guide to Conducting Interviews and Writing Psychological Reports (The Clinician's Toolbox) (Paperback)
A great companion for the newly practicing therapist to "get in the groove." An ongoing resource when one's flow of words is just dribbling rather than flowing. Preferred the ease of the earlier editions' spiral bounding - but the CD has been adequate compensation.
