The Complete Adult Psychotherapy Treatment Planner, 6th Edition (Paperback)

The Complete Adult Psychotherapy Treatment Planner, Sixth Edition, is the Wiley PracticePlanners paperback that gives therapists prewritten, evidence-based treatment plan components for 45 adult presenting problems.

Treatment plans are required by managed care companies, third-party payers, and state and federal agencies, and writing them from scratch eats into client time. The Treatment Planner solves that with a library of behaviorally defined problem statements, long-term goals, short-term objectives, and therapeutic interventions you can select and customize. Where research supports a specific intervention, the sixth edition flags it as evidence-based; where it does not, a best-practice standard is given instead.

What’s included

• Sixth Edition, paperback, Wiley PracticePlanners series
• ISBN-13: 9781119629931
• Over 3,000 prewritten treatment symptoms, goals, objectives, and interventions
• Evidence-based plan components for 45 behaviorally defined presenting problems
• Two new chapters: Loneliness and Opioid Use Disorder
• Components indexed by presenting problem and by DSM-5 diagnosis
• Suggested homework exercises for each presenting problem

Who it’s for

Psychologists, licensed professional counselors, clinical social workers, marriage and family therapists, addiction counselors, and psychiatrists who document treatment for adult clients. Agency and community mental health clinicians who carry large caseloads and face audits use it most, and graduate interns learning to write plans that satisfy supervisors and payers find it a practical model.

Why this edition

The sixth edition updated every chapter for clarity and conciseness and strengthened the evidence-based labeling so you can see at a glance which interventions have research support. The Loneliness and Opioid Use Disorder chapters reflect presenting problems clinicians see far more often now than when earlier editions were written. If you are using the fourth or fifth edition, the new chapters and refreshed interventions are the main reasons to move up.
