The Child Psychotherapy Treatment Planner, Sixth Edition is the essential reference used by clinicians across the country to clarify, simplify, and accelerate the patient treatment planning process for child clients. Part of the acclaimed PracticePlanners® series published by Wiley, this authoritative resource is designed to help practitioners spend less time on paperwork and more time providing effective, evidence-based treatment to the children in their care.

The Sixth Edition offers accessible, easily navigable treatment plan components organized by behavioral problem and DSM-5 diagnosis — allowing clinicians to quickly locate appropriate goals, objectives, and interventions for each child client. The updated edition features newly updated treatment objectives and interventions supported by the best available research, plus new therapeutic games, workbooks, DVDs, toolkits, video, and audio resources to support treatment plans and improve patient outcomes.

Key updates include fully revised content on gender dysphoria consistent with the latest clinical guidelines, a new chapter on disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, and a new chapter on Bullying Victim — addressing the most current presenting problems in child mental health practice. With components for 36 behaviorally based presenting problems and over 2,300 prewritten treatment goals, objectives, and interventions, this planner provides everything needed to satisfy the increasingly stringent demands of HMOs, managed care, third-party payers, and state and federal agencies.

An invaluable resource for practicing social workers, therapists, psychologists, and other clinicians working with child populations in outpatient, inpatient, school-based, and community mental health settings. Essential for professionals pursuing LCSW, LPC, and licensed psychologist licensure, and for those working within CACREP-accredited clinical training programs.
