These books are great!
All the books in the Jongsma treatment planner series are worthwhile. It becomes very easy to put together consistent treatment plans and is very helpful in determining the objectives and interventions.
Great Treatment Planner
This treatment planner is excellent. Gives detailed treatment plans and suggestions for intervention techniques. Excellent buy.
Great resource
This is a great resource when learning to work with clients as a new counselor. Not only does it guide you on how to run your sessions but it also helps to write treatment plans! I have also bought the child one too and I plan to get the homework version.
Research Supported Treatment Interventions Now Included
This 4th edition of the Adolescent Psychotherapy Treatment Planner has been revised to include Evidence Based Treatment (EBT) Objectives and Interventions. The latest research evidence has been integrated into the content of most of the chapters. Those Objectives and Interventions that go beyond "Best Practice" to being based on replicable reseach results are highlighted with an EBT symbol. Now the reader can be assured that all the latest research has been reviewed and suggestions for treatment based on successful results are noted in those chapters where research evidence exists. Where there is not sufficient research evidence available for a presenting problem, best practice interventions continue to be suggested. As federal funding sources as well as some other third party payers are beginning to insist on treatment based on research evidence, this Planner offers just such Interventions.
Please be reminded that all of our psychotherapy suggestions assume a compassionate relationship of empathy that is crucial for effective treatment. Good psychotherapists realize the critical importance of a therapeutic relationship while delivering research informed treatment.
Awesome Support
I work for a community service board and with the large number of consumers coming in daily, this tool has been a God send. It guides my thought process as I am taking in information so that I can create not only a treatment plan that will satisfy insurance/medicaid companies, but be most effective for each consumer. It is worth your time and money to invest in the series of treatment planners that are offered by the authors.
