There never seem to be enough hours in the day, but The Child Psychotherapy Progress Notes Planner, Fifth Edition (Wiley, June 2014; $ 60.00) can change that for psychologists, therapists, counselors, social workers, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals. They can save hours normally spent on time-consuming paperwork by adapting the over 1,000 prewritten progress notes summarizing patient presentation and treatment delivered to develop their own customized progress notes.

Organized around 35 main presenting problems, from academic underachievement and obesity to ADHD, anger control problems, and autism spectrum disorders, this guide provides an array of treatment approaches that correspond with the behavioral problems and DSM-5 diagnostic categories.

The Child Psychotherapy Progress Notes Planner, Fifth Edition is companion to The Child Psychotherapy Treatment Planner, Fifth Edition, and offers sample progress notes that conform to the requirements of most third-parties and accrediting agencies, including CARF, TJC and NCQA, and it presents new and updated information on the role of evidence-based practice in progress notes writing and the special status of progress notes under HIPAA.
