xiv PRACTICE PLANNERS® SERIES PREFACE Treatment Planner books. The handouts are included on CD-ROMs for easy printing from your computer and are ideal for use in waiting rooms, at presentations, as newsletters, or as information for clients struggling with mental illness issues. In addition, the series also includes Thera Scribe®, the latest version of the popular treatment planning, clinical record-keeping software. Thera Scribe allows the user to import the data from any of the Treatment Planner, Progress Notes Planner, or Homework Planner books into the software's expandable database. Then the point-and-click method can create a detailed, neatly organi zed, individualized, and customized treatment plan along with optional integrated progress notes and homework assignments. Adjunctive books, such as The Psychotherapy Documentation Primer, and Clinical, Forensic, Child, Couples and Family, Continuum of Ca re, and Chemical Dependence Documentation Sourcebook, contain forms and resources to aid the mental health practice management. The goal of the series is to provide practitioners with the resources they need in order to provide high-quality care in the era of accountability —or, to put it simply, we seek to help you spend more time on patients and less time on paperwork.
