Treatment Plans: From Annoying Paperwork to Powerful Treatment Tool

Treatment plans are experienced by some clinicians as annoying paperwork with little value.  Plans are often given little thought and rushed through in order to check off the chart requirement.  However, the very process of clients creating goals, when done thoughtfully, can provide motivation and hope.  Not to mention providing direction for sessions.

In this talk you will explore techniques that will move treatment planning from a waste of time to a valuable part of facilitating client change.  The material will come from Dr. Clifton Mitchell’s book Effective Techniques for Dealing with Highly Resistant Clients (2^ndedition) and Beverly’s experience as a clinician.
