Choosing Effective Treatment Methods: A Comprehensive, Systematic Guide to Treating Mental Disorders

Treatment planning — one of the most challenging stages of a clinician's work. Mental disorders can be complex, and keeping up with the latest research findings and therapy options can be quite labor-intensive. This book will help clinicians simplify and organize the treatment planning process using useful strategies such as: — familiarization with the latest changes in the DSM-5 system; — conducting evidence-based treatment that aligns with the therapeutic style; — creating a client map for developing comprehensive treatment plans; — using assessment methods that reflect changes in the multi-axial DSM-5 system. The comprehensive coverage of this work, its research-based foundation and DSM alignment, systematic and structured approach, as well as the use of practical examples and treatment plans should help clinicians utilize the current knowledge about treating mental disorders more effectively. All of this will allow for a more effective approach to working with clients.
