This guidebook offers so much you will use it time and time again. With sections on what questions to ask, different formats for writing reports and progress notes, abbreviations, DSM reference, and medical conditions that masquerade as mental illness, you will find this book invaluable. Great for students who are new to diagnosis and report writing and a wonderful tool for the skilled clinician in avoiding stale reports and progress notes.
As a clinician in an Emergency Room, this is a very important tool of the trade. This offers concise, descriptive information on the symptoms, and enhance accurate report writting. It is compliant to HIPAA/JCAHO guildlines. It's presentation is easy to understand and presentation has an interview like flow to the presentation of the information. It offers definations, formats, concise medical terminalogy, and dual listing with the MSM-IV-TR as well as the ICD-9.
A great companion for the newly practicing therapist to "get in the groove." An ongoing resource when one's flow of words is just dribbling rather than flowing. Preferred the ease of the earlier editions' spiral bounding - but the CD has been adequate compensation.
This book is great to refer to when writing psychological reports. It provides professional ways to state things within a psychological report. This is very helpful when you are drawing a blank on how to express something. It also provides information on different aspects of the clinical interview and how to word questions which can be very helpful to look over every once in awhile for a refresher.
A friend, who is working on her LCSW clinical hours, recommended this book. I am an MSW student and while studying methods for doing psychosocial assessments this book was a very valuable resource. It has words and phrases that are clear, succinct, and convey meaning quickly and clearly.I highly recommend it for all MSW students, social workers, and LCSW's.
Had the second edition, lost it a few moves ago, decided to buy another. I forgot how useful this softcover book is. In this day of computer generated reports you still need to be able to write a report and this is a great guide to the correct vernacular and phraseology. It will be an ancillary for the a class I teach, although I don't see a need for newer edition than this until the DSM5 gets incorporated.
Consider this less a thesaurus and more of a collection of prewritten sentences and paragraphs to help you formulate evaluations, case formulations, and document any old thing that comes up in psychiatry. Solid resource for the new clinician.
This book is really helpful when learning to assess clients and write clinical reports. It was well worth the money.
