Editorial Reviews

Review

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.

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

The Clinician's Thesaurus is a very readable reference, with practical utility for beginning clinicians. My students valued the easy access to professional nomenclature, and credited the Thesaurus with helping them produce informed, useful reports -- James C. Thompson, Ed.D., University of Louisville, Dept of Educational and Counseling Psychology

5.0 out of 5 stars Every clinician will benefit!, November 22, 2001
By DeeAnna Merz (Rumson, NJ) - See all my reviews
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.

It offers definations, formats, concise medical terminalogy, and dual listing with the MSM-IV-TR as well as the ICD-9.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource, November 11, 2006
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.
