The Clinical Child Documentation Sourcebook: A Comprehensive Collection of Forms and Guidelines for Efficient Record-Keeping in Child Mental Health Practices (with disk) (PracticePlanners)

All the forms, checklists, handouts, and clinical records needed to run a successful child mental health practice

The paperwork required when providing mental health services in the current era of third-party accountability continues to mount. This easy-to-use resource offers child psychologists and therapists a full array of forms, inventories, checklists, client handouts, and clinical records essential to a successful practice in either an organizational or clinical setting.

From intake to diagnosis and treatment through discharge and outcomes assessment, The Clinical Child Documentation Sourcebook offers sample forms for every stage of the treatment process. Like its bestselling predecessor, The Clinical Documentation Sourcebook, The Clinical Child Documentation Sourcebook includes ready-to-copy blank forms, as well as examples of fully completed forms, and a 3.5" disk that contains word-processing versions of every form in the book. With The Clinical Child Documentation Sourcebook you'll spend less time on paperwork and more time with clients.

Ready-to-use blank forms, handouts, and records make it easy to satisfy the paperwork demands of HMOs, insurers, and regulatory agencies

• Completed copies of forms illustrate the exact type of information required
• Clear, concise explanations of the purpose of each form—including when it should be used, with whom, and at what point
• Forms may be copied from the book or customized on the disk included using any DOS or Windows-based word-processing program
