The best treatment planner for school counselors.   July 22, 2007

As a school counselor/therapist, I find that this planner bridges the divide between school counseling and psychotherapy. It is much more useful in a school setting than the Adolescent Treatment Planner as it is organized by presenting problem rather than DSM diagnosis (e.g. attention-seeking behavior, self-esteem building, sexual responsibility). However,DSM diagnostic suggestions are also included for each presenting problem. Treatment goals and interventions are clearly outlined and practical. Yes, some interventions are obvious, but there are dozens of additional interventions as well. In a school setting where time is limited, this book helps me quickly outline my treatment plan and stay focused so that I am working in a more efficient manner. This book has saved me a lot of time and helped me conceptualize school-based therapy in a more practical way.

I found The School Counseling and Social Work Treatment Planner follows the same formula as all of the other therapeutic treatment planners co-authored by Art Jongsma which have been exceptionally well received by the therapeutic community as a whole. The treatment planners are extensively edited by the co-authors and then rigorously twice again by the well respected publisher, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Hobocken, NJ.
The customer review by Sally Powers October 5, 2007 indicates that there are editing errors and that the therapeutic interventions are repeated and not sequential. All Therapeutic interventions are in sequential order, however, the suggested interventions that coordinate with the short-term objectives are at times repeated because they apply to more than one objective. This allows the school counselor or social worker to create a treatment plan or informal counseling framework that addresses the specific needs of the student. The process for using this treatment planner is explained in detail in the Treatment Plan Utility which begins on page 3 and in the section How To Use This Planner on page 7. When the Treatment Planner is then used according to these guidelines, many helpful treatment guidelines are offerred to the School Counselor or School Social Worker dealing with common and unique problems presented by today's student population. I suggest a thorough reading of the introduction before formulating a school social work or counseling plan. The definitions, long-term goals, short term objectives and therapeutic interventions can then easily and sytematically be applied to assist sutdents or various ages and treatment issues.

This book has been very helpful in coming up with treatment plans for the variety of issues that walk through my door. I don't have the companion of the homework but I think that might be helpful as well.
