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.

 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 in their sixth editions, but also Treatment Planners targeted to specialty areas of practice, including:Co-occurring disordersIntegrated behavioral medicineCollege studentsCouples therapyCrisis counselingEarly childhood educationEmployee assistanceFamily therapyGays and lesbiansGroup therapyJuvenile justice and residential careIntellectual and developmental disabilityNeuro rehabilitationOlder adultsParenting skillsPastoral counselingPersonality disordersProbation and parolePsychopharmacologySchool counseling and school social workSevere and persistent mental illnessSexual abuse victims and offendersSocial work and human servicesSpecial educationSpeech-language pathologySuicide and homicide risk assessmentVeterans and active military dutyWomen's issues

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, chemical dependence, 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.

The Series also includes:

 Evidence-Based Psychotherapy Treatment Planning Video Series offers 12 sixty-minute programs that provide step-by-step guidance on how to use empirically supported treatments to inform the entire treatment planning process. In a viewer-friendly manner, Drs. Art Jongsma and Tim Bruce discuss the steps involved in integrating evidence-based (EBT) Objectives and Interventions into a treatment plan. The research support for the EBTs is summarized and selected aspects of the EBTs are demonstrated in role-played counseling scenarios.

A companion Treatment Planning software product is also available:

 TheraScribe®, the #1 selling treatment planning and clinical record-keeping software system for mental health professionals. TheraScribe® allows the user to import the data from any of the Treatment Planner, Progress Notes Planner, or Homework Planner books into the software's expandable database to simply point and click to create a detailed, organized, individualized, and customized treatment plan along with optional integrated progress notes and homework assignments. TheraScribe® is available by calling 616-776-1745.

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.
