Practical Support Par Excellence.......2007-05-14

As a Graduate level student not yet in an internship with access to professional documentation formats, this is a lifesaver. Ms. Johnson has provided solid formats also for some short-term work topics that can be adapted to a wide variety of approaches and styles. I thank her and you for providing this service.

Somewhat Disappointed!.......2007-03-22

This book was not as helpful as I thought it would be. It does not do what the title suggests. 1-2-3s of Treatment Planning suggests that it explains how to do treatment plans. At least, that is what I thought. It does not explain how to do treatment plans. It just has a lot of information, somewhat irrelevant for me.

Clinical Guide for Therapists.......2006-11-11

Excellent book for therapists who need intervention ideas and documentation guide as well.

Incredible Resource.......2006-08-13

This book is priceless in my eyes. It has earned its price countless number of times. This book includes everything from Psychoeducation handouts, treatment plan information, assessment, administrative paperwork and much more. I have used this book on a daily basis in my clinical practice and continue to refer to it regularly. The amount of work put into this book is enormous and I appreciate every bit of it. Thank you Sharon and i look forward to more workbooks, etc . Im sure anything you create will be magnificent.

Highly, highly, highly recommended.

So Practical.......2006-06-24

I have already recommended this book to many of my colleagues. It covers so many topics and provides practical, useful information for psychoeducation and treatment options. I don't know what I would do without it. I would love to see workbooks and printouts by this author.

Book Description

As managed care companies gain increasing control over the mental health care market, many psychiatrists not under contract with a managed care plan have been excluded from significant numbers of potential patients. As a result, psychiatrists must pay more attention than ever before to practice management and other business-related issues. The Psychiatrist's Guide to Practice Management provides psychiatrists with important advice on how to make their practice capable of entering agreements with managed care organizations. This important guide identifies key areas (including financial, regulatory, promotional, administrative, and geographic issues) that must be considered in order to adapt the practice to make it more appealing to managed care companies. An additional chapter covers physician networks and alliances that compete directly against managed care organizations. It also provides crucial advice for psychiatrists who wish to develop a private practice based on traditional fee-for-service and private pay plans.

By using this handy guide, psychiatrists can build a thriving practice inside or outside the managed mental health care system.

Good overview and basic resource........2000-11-27

I bought this book for a presentation in a graduate level class regarding the role of managed care in the provision of mental health services. This book provided a good starting place for understanding the history of managed mental health care, ethical issues in managed mental health care, and the basic managed health care system in the US. If you want a basic, easy-to-read overview, this is your book. If you already have an understanding of the basics and want a more detailed analysis of managed mental health care, you may use this book as a starting place for your research. For the price, this book is a useful reference.
