Editorial Reviews

Review
"I strongly recommend this book to mental health administrators, supervising clinicians, and others who are concerned with continually improving the quality of their treatment planning process. It would be an outstanding resource for training candidates who are pursuing professional degrees in mental health and addiction treatment."
-PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES

"Treatment Planning for Person-Centered Care puts the entire concept of individualized service planning into understandable language for all readers, whether they are students, clinicians or the persons receiving services. The authors have captured the essence of active involvement of the persons served in the identification of needs (as well as strengths) and the development of a plan that will address those needs. This book is definitely in concert with and supports the CARF Behavioral Health standards, and would be an excellent resource for organizations wanting to better understand how to move towards a person-centered assessment and planning process."
-Nikki Migas, M.P.A., Managing Director, Behavioral Health Customer Service Unit, CARF . the Rehabilitation Accreditation Commission.

"Treatment Planning for Person-Centered Care by Neal Adams and Diane Grieder is a one-of-a-kind book. The authors take what for many clinicians is irritating paperwork requirement, treatment planning, that is a diversion from their "real" work of therapy and turn it into a valuable tool. More importantly, clinicians and students in clinical training who read this book will think differently when they are done. By placing the person, the client at the center of planning, Adams and Grieder take the reader step by step through a transforming process. They lead us to re-think whose goals are we trying to achieve in treatment. This book could precipitate many fruitful seminar discussions during clinical training, an antidote to the therapist as authority figure orientation that Adams and Grieder critique. This roadmap could also be an enormously helpful for people and families entering mental health or substance use treatment, teaching them what to expect from truly person-centered care."
-Eric Goplerud, Ph.D., George Washington University Medical Center

"This book encourages the field to turn a very important corner. It clarifies the goals and the processes that Mental Health and Alcohol/Drug systems presently need to focus on: joining with clients to help them enter/re-enter their communities and successfully exit the treatment systems. This book will help practitioners develop the necessary conceptual overview as well as individual components of service plans that will significantly enhance our clients' chances for real world success."
-Ed Diksa, California Institute for Mental Health

"The appendixes are very useful, outlining care plans in a very specific manner that I would find applicable to clinical care... In fact, I would consider using these appendixes as a template for recovery planning."
-DOODY REVIEWS

"...[the authors] are to be congratulated on such an excellent practical guide which is thoughtful, informative and so easy to read... an enviably clear writing style."
-Glyn Thomas, Organizational Development Director, Satilla Community Services

"...our Director of Clinical and Rehabilitative Services and her senior managers have created a staff training based largely on [the] book called Treatment Planning for Person-Centered Services... the best book she has ever read on the subject."
-Wendy Gradison, LCSW, CPRP; President and CEO, PRS, Inc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Case Managers in Mental Health, November 15, 2007

By	Christopher S. Sapp "ClockworkChris" (Winston-Salem, NC, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is unbeatable when it comes to resources for understanding and creating good solid goals that match up with diagnosis for various services in the mental health field such as counseling, case management, community supports, CAP, and others. The book gives clear examples of broad and specific goals and interventions that would be effective with each. If you are making a treatment plan and want evidence based goals, or you are using person centered planning this book is for you. Everyone in my office bought one after we were introduced to it and it has really helped with getting approval from the state with our plans for community support services. I suggest trying to find it used, although the later editions have more information. I have purchased several for others and the prices have ranged from $15 to $40.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide to tx planning, July 8, 2007

By	L. Lampe (Madison, WI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Very good road map to person centered planning. Many of us in the Mental Health field "talk the talk" and this book shows us how to "walk the walk". A must have for anybody working with people, not only in Mental Health or Substance Abuse but for the medical field as well.
