This book is tailored for California MFTs. It covers the major theories that are presently in use. It gives clear vignettes and has excellent treatment goals for each stage of therapy. It is a necessity to have this book when studying for the Standard Written and Written Clinical Vignette exams.

This textbook was recommended by my professor, and I find it a good tool for therapists who are looking for very basic theoretical information on the various therapies for families out there. Good examples and vignettes make its application simpler.

Good for beginners.

Theory-Based Treatment Planning was a very useful tool in studying for my California MFT exam. My four star rating is based solely on the omission of a psychodynamic approach to therapy covered in the state exam.

I used this book instead of the required reading for my Theories and Techniques one and two classes. This book not only covers theories, it has treatment plans (yes treatment plans) and vignettes for each theory and it covered all the phases of goals (early, middle and late phases). It's so thin, I carry it with me when seeing client's, it's very helpful when I'm doing my treatment plans!

Excellent book for preparation for California Clinical Vingette exam. The theories are broken down into clear and concise segments. Goals and interventions are clearly differentiated and the exercises were very helpful. I recommended this book to supervising colleagues who incorporated the material into their supervision of their interns. I wish we had this book in my graduate studies, it would have improved my treatment planning skills during my internships. I have recommended this book to others preparing for both the written and vignette exams. They each believed it was more than a worthwill investment.

This is a must for anyone studying to become an MFT! Great, concise and with examples! You can't ask for more!

For anyone interested in studying the therapies of counseling, this is a terrific book! It's an easy read and very to the point. I found it extremely helpful for a quick review back.

This book I think was rather expensive. It's a pretty flimsy paperback book, but the content is pretty good. I like how the chapters are broken down into an understandable language. The vignettes are really helpful as well. If the book wasn't so expensive I would have given it 5 stars. I purchasedthiss book for a class and it turned out the professor changed his mind at the last minute and removed it from the syllabus. Im glad I purchased it before it was removed because I find it to be rather helpful.

Received the book in a very timely manner in excellent brand new condition. I look forward to reading it!
