The Psychotherapy Documentation Primer

As a new counselor in practicum I found this book very helpful in guiding me through the proper documentation procedure and very helpful in using professional terms for a client's assessment, progress notes and more. A must have for all new counselors.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! This book has answered so many of my questions. I only wish it had been available and I had read it years ago. I have struggled as a master's level professional with documentation and termninology, the treatment plans, and how this all matters when it comes to mangaged care etc. Much of my training was on the job and well meaning co-workers did not have the time or ability to explain it to me. Like so many, this course was not taught. I have started my own practice and I feel much more confident thanks to The Psychoterapy Documentation Primer. Can you recommend something similar for Substance Abuse or Addictions? Your Book was worth every penny! Paula

This book is a great documentation reference for those just going into the field of counseling. I've used the examples in this book in numerous assignments, and learning to document assessments, diagnoses and notes. I highly recommend it for those in school or having just graduated and needing guidance in documentation.
