Accountability is an important dimension of the practice of psychotherapy. Treatment programs, public agencies, clinics, and practitioners must justify and document their treatment plans to outside review entities in order to be reimbursed for services. The books in the PracticePlanners^® series are designed to help practitioners fulfill these documentation requirements efficiently and professionally. They have also proven very beneficial to graduate students as well as young or seasoned practitioners who are looking for suggestions for effective Interventions, all of which are best practice or evidence-based.

The PracticePlanners^® series includes a wide array of treatment planning books including not only the original Complete Adult Psychotherapy Treatment Planner, Child Psychotherapy Treatment Planner, Adolescent Psychotherapy Treatment Planner, and Addictions Treatment Planner all now being revised and updated for the 6th editions, in their sixth editions, but also many other Treatment Planners targeted to specialty areas of practice, including:

 Co-occurring disorders

 Integrated behavioral medicine

 College students

 Couples therapy

 Crisis counseling

 Early childhood education

 Employee assistance

 Family therapy

 LGBTQ+

 Group therapy

 Juvenile justice and residential care

 Intellectual and developmental disability

 Neuro rehabilitation

In addition, there are three branches of companion books that can be used in conjunction with the Treatment Planners, or on their own:

 Progress Notes Planners provide a menu of progress statements that elaborate on the client's symptom presentation and the provider's therapeutic intervention. Each Progress Notes Planner statement is directly integrated with the behavioral definitions and therapeutic interventions from its companion Treatment Planner.

 Homework Planners include homework assignments designed around each presenting problem (such as anxiety, depression, substance use, anger management, eating disorders, or panic disorder) that is the focus of a chapter in its corresponding Treatment Planner.

 Client Education Handout Planners provide brochures and handouts to help educate and inform clients on presenting problems and mental health issues, as well as life skills techniques. The handouts are included on CD-ROMs for easy printing from your computer and are ideal for use in waiting rooms, at presentations, as newsletters, or as information for clients struggling with mental illness issues. The topics covered by these handouts correspond to the presenting problems in the Treatment Planners.

Adjunctive books, such as The Psychotherapy Documentation Primer and The Clinical Documentation Sourcebook, contain forms and resources to aid the clinician in mental health practice management.

The goal of our series is to provide practitioners with the resources they need in order to provide high-quality care in the era of accountability. To put it simply: We seek to help you spend more time on patients and less time on paperwork.
