The Psychopharmacology Treatment Planner - 2007

The series of Practice Planners by Arthur Jongsma and his colleagues have become bestsellers by helping practitioners create documentation efficiently and professionally. This guide is distinctive in the series because it addresses not a particular disorder or client population, but rather the entire area of pharmacology.

The Psychopharmacology Treatment Planner provides all the elements necessary to quickly and easily develop formal treatment plans for conditions that are regularly treated with a combination of psychotropic and psychotherapeutic interventions. These treatment plans will save you many hours of time in preparing paperwork, while satisfying the demands of managed care companies, third-party payers, and state and federal review agencies.

The book supplies prewritten statements but also gives you the freedom to develop customized treatment plans. The Psychopharmacology Treatment Planner:

• is organized around 28 main presenting problems
• includes more than 1,000 clear, well-crafted statements that describe the behavioral manifestations of each problem as well as long-term goals, short-term objectives, and therapeutic options
• uses a convenient reference format—you can locate treatment plan components by behavioral problem or DSM-IV-TR™ diagnosis
• provides a sample treatment plan you can emulate that meets all requirements of third-party payers and accrediting agencies, including JCAHO and the NCQA

The Psychopharmacology Treatment Planner will clarify, simplify, and accelerate the treatment planning process, and allow you to better choose and apply clinically tested treatment options.
