PRACTICEPLANNERS SERIES PREFACEThe practice of psychotherapy has a dimension that did not exist 30, 20, or even 15 yearsago—accountability. Treatment programs, public agencies, clinics, and even group andsolo practitioners must now justify the treatment of patients to outside review entities thatcontrol the payment of fees. This development has resulted in an explosion of paperwork.Clinicians must now document what has been done in treatment, what is planned for thefuture, and what the anticipated outcomes of the interventions are. The books and software in this PracticePlanners series are designed to help practitioners fulfill these documentation requirements efficiently and professionally.The PracticePlanners series is growing rapidly. It now includes not only the originalComplete Adult Psychotherapy Treatment Planner, Third Edition, The Child Psychotherapy Treatment Planner, Third Edition, and The Adolescent Psychotherapy TreatmentPlanner, Third Edition, but also Treatment Planners targeted to specialty areas ofpractice, including: addictions, juvenile justice/residential care, couples therapy,employee assistance, behavioral medicine, therapy with older adults, pastoral counseling,family therapy, group therapy, psychopharmacology, neuropsychology, therapy with gaysand lesbians, special education, school counseling, probation and parole, therapy withsexual abuse victims and offenders, and more.Several of the Treatment Planner books now have companion Progress Notes Planners(e.g., Adult, Adolescent, Child, Addictions, Severe and Persistent Mental Illness,Couples). More of these planners that provide a menu of progress statements thatelaborate on the client’s symptom presentation and the provider’s therapeutic interventionare in production. Each Progress Notes Planner statement is directly integrated with“Behavioral Definitions” and “Therapeutic Interventions” items from the companionTreatment Planner.The list of therapeutic Homework Planners is also growing from the original BriefTherapy Homework for adults to Adolescent, Child, Couples, Group, Family, Addictions,Divorce, Grief, Employee Assistance, and School Counseling/School Social WorkHomework Planners. Each of these books can be used alone or in conjunction with theircompanion Treatment Planner. Homework assignments are designed around each presenting problem (e.g., Anxiety, Depression, Chemical Dependence, Anger Management,Panic, Eating Disorders) that is the focus of a chapter in its corresponding TreatmentPlanner.Client Education Handout Planners, a new branch in the series, provides brochuresand handouts to help educate and inform adult, child, adolescent, couples, and familyclients on a myriad of mental health issues, as well as life skills techniques. The list ofpresenting problems for which information is provided mirrors the list of presentingproblems in the Treatment Planner of the title similar to that of the Handout Planner.Thus, the problems for which educational material is provided in the Child andxv
xviPRACTICEPLANNERS SERIES PREFACEAdolescent Client Education Handout Planner reflect the presenting problems listed inThe Child and The Adolescent Psychotherapy Treatment Planner books. Handouts areincluded on CD-ROMs for easy printing and are ideal for use in waiting rooms, atpresentations, as newsletters, or as information for clients struggling with mental illnessissues.In addition, the series also includes TheraScribe , the latest version of the populartreatment planning, clinical record-keeping software. TheraScribe allows the user toimport the data from any of the Treatment Planner, Progress Notes Planner, or HomeworkPlanner books into the software’s expandable database. Then the point-and-click methodcan create a detailed, neatly organized, individualized, and customized treatment planalong with optional integrated progress notes and homework assignments.Adjunctive books, such as The Psychotherapy Documentation Primer, and Clinical,Forensic, Child, Couples and Family, Continuum of Care, and Chemical DependenceDocumentation Sourcebook contain forms and resources to aid the mental health practicemanagement. The goal of the series is to provide practitioners with the resources theyneed in order to provide high-quality care in the era of accountability or, to put it simply,we seek to help you spend more time on patients, and less time on paperwork.ARTHUR E. JONGSMA, JR.Grand Rapids, Michigan
ACKNOWLEDGMENTSAlthough only my name appears as the author of this book, the product is the result of thecombined efforts of many people. I first would like to acknowledge the contribution ofmy coauthors on several other books, William McInnis and Mark Peterson. They bothgave permission for me to borrow and adapt some of the homework exercises we hadcollaborated on in writing the Brief Adolescent Therapy Homework Planner and theAdolescent Psychotherapy Homework Planner II. Several of the assignments in this bookhave been adapted to the adult focus group from their original creation for the adolescentclient. Thank you Bill and Mark.I am grateful to Sue Rhoda, who was so efficient at transcribing this manuscript in avery timely and professional manner.I also want to recognize the fine work done by Jen Byrne, my project assistant, whopulls together many scattered pages of handwritten notes and dictated material so itcomes together at the end looking like a book manuscript. Thanks Jen.My support staff at John Wiley & Sons, David Bernstein, Peggy Alexander, CrisWojdylo, Judi Knott, and Lynne Marsala, continues to move the Practice Planner projectforward with enthusiasm and professional dedication. Thank you all.Finally, my personal support system is grounded in my wife, Judy, who makes me feelimportant even when I am not, and my children and grandchildren who consistently showinterest in my work. Thank you family.A.E.J.xvii
