Introduction
This third edition, like the first and second, is intended to serve as a comprehensive resource tool. Behavioral health industry changes continue to evolve with the development of evidence-based treatment, DSM 5, electronic health care records, telepsychology, and the documentation transition for clinicians to the diagnostic coding of the ICD-10 system of the World Health Organization. Regardless of the continuing evolution, the clinician providing behavioral health services operates within a formal ethical framework. It is likely that no other health treatment is so stringently founded on privacy and confidentiality than psychotherapy. Providing behavioral health interventions is a complex process that takes into consideration evidence-based practices, multifaceted individualized aspects of the individual, and institutional demands of the insurance industry.
Clinicians are sensitive to the needs of the individual, and the Therapists Guide to Clinical Intervention provides best practice interventions in an easy-to-use manner that provides the clinician the evidence-based treatment necessary to meet the patient where they are while respectfully incorporating personal need/desire, time, and resources. Case management demands continue to increase with documentation being more important than ever resulting in potentially more indirect service required by the clinician. Additionally, the consumer has become more sophisticatedoften inquiring about the type(s) of interventions a clinician uses, thus making commensurate educated decisions regarding the type of therapy they are seeking for a specific problem. Therefore, in many cases, both the consumer of services and the contractor of services expect the therapist to provide refined diagnostic skills, brief evidence-based treatment planning with defined goals and objectives, crisis intervention, case management with collateral contacts, contracting with the client for various reasons, and discharge planning that is well documented and research supported. The Therapists Guide to Clinical Intervention facilitates the ease of accomplishing these expectations by combining the aforementioned significant aspects of practice. All of this is provided in a single resource, versus a considerable number of review texts necessary to encompass a commensurate amount of information.
The third edition of the Therapists Guide to Clinical Intervention has retained the original format while updating organization to improve utility and evidence-based treatment supported by a thorough literature review. Changes in the DSM 5 played a role in both the organization associated with diagnostic categorization as well as diagnostic criteria. However, from a common sense perspective, specifically with regards to pediatrics, there was a break from DSM 5. The divergence in no way interferes with treatment planning, but it did increase ease of developmental clinical treatment planning and intervention with maximum ease of utilization. Additionally, the third edition will be structured into four sections consistent with prior editions.
The first chapter of the book is an outline of evidence-based cognitive behavioral treatment planning. This organization of goals and objectives associated with specific, identified problems supports thoroughness in developing an effective intervention formulation that is individualized to each client. The treatment planning section was designed to be user-friendly and to save time. There is a list of central goals derived from identified diagnostic symptoms and the associated treatment objectives for reaching those goals from a cognitive behavioral perspective. It goes without saying that not all individuals or diagnoses are amenable to brief therapy interventions. However, cognitive behavioral interventions can still be very useful in the limited time frame for developing appropriate structure and facilitating stabilization. Often the brief intervention will be used as a time for initiating necessary longer-term treatment or making a referral to an appropriate therapeutic group or psychoeducational group.
