CASE DOCUMENTATION IN COUNSELING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY teaches counselors and psychotherapists how to apply counseling theories in real-world settings. The text provides a comprehensive introduction to case documentation using four commonly used clinical forms: case conceptualization, clinical assessment, treatment plan, and progress note. These documents are uniquely designed to incorporate counseling theory and help you, as a new practitioner, understand how to use theory in everyday practice. Case studies illustrate how to complete documentation using each of seven counseling models: psychodynamic, Adlerian, humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, family systemic, solution-focused, and postmodern/feminist. You'll also learn about the evidence base for each theory as well as applications for specific diverse populations. The text's outcome-based pedagogy engages you in an active learning process. Its case documentation assignments-created using national standards for counseling, family therapy, psychology, and social work-empower you to apply theoretical concepts and develop professional skills as early as possible in your training, resulting in greater mastery of the material. With its practical overviews of theories, conceptualization, treatment planning, and documentation, this is a book that you will want to keep and use as a clinical reference manual for years to come.
