5.0 out of 5 stars Another great tool for the practioner's tool box., May 14, 2003

This review is from: The Complete Adult Psychotherapy Treatment Planner (PracticePlanners) (Paperback)

Research suggests that an ever increasing number of practioners are relying on tools such as this to help formulate treatment plans.

As a graduate student, what I find useful about this book is that after you study a particular disorder---from the DSM-IV-TR itself, a good psychopathology text (see Davison & Neal's Abnormal Psychology), and the DSM's Diagnostic Criteria handbook, The Adult Psychotherapy Treatment Planner completes the loop.

I bought this book after taking a case studies class where the instructor did an absolutely miserable job in showing us the rhyme and reason behind a good treatment plan. Not satisfied that I knew enough about this critically important piece in the counseling process, I did some research and found this book to be the most highly regarded in this genre.

As subsequent classes deal with child and adolescent psychopathology, family psychopathology, etc. etc. I will be getting the treatment plans that correspond with these issues.

Where to begin...I spend much time in school learning theory after theory but with limited learning on how to apply them and how to make them work. Much time is spent on pathology and what it looks like and how to diagnosis using the DSM-IV-TR, but not much time is spent on using the techniques, so I picked up this book and wow what a helpful piece of writing. It gives you many ideas on where to go with your treatment and what some of the goals you should have during treatment.

The book focuses on EBP and treatment and is a great resource on creating treatment plans once the diagnosis has been established.

The Complete Adult Psychotherapy Treatment Planner is an excellent help to the counselor. After a quick check of the behavioral definitions for verification, one can then find appropriate therapeutic interventions to put in one's toolbox for use if needed. Another important application for this planner is in writing treatment plans that insurance companies and other payors will accept. This is a mainstay of my office library.
