I bought this book to get good forms for HIPAA consents etc in starting a new practice. It turned out not only to have a lot of legal details such as release of information forms and consent to privacy policies and consent to treatment, but it also had very good clinical templates which ended up changing some of my charting practices as well. It comes with a CD with every form in adobe pdf and word. The adobe forms can be printed out as is, and the word can be edited to suit your practice. It works in Vista with the new microsoft office word with no troubles. This book would be good for psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors or social workers in private practice or small clinic settings. It could also be useful for medical directors of mental health clinics as well. I wish it had been a little more inclusive of psychiatrists/pschologists with prescribing priveleges by having medication reconciliation sheets etc, but the author is very open to communication, and I may share some of my templates with him for the next edition. A good and very practical book to mental health practice nuts and bolts. This does not tell you how to practice or how to do therapy, it's just how to be an administrator of a mental health practice. But there is no book like it I have found!By Brian D. Babiak
I am a minister for a small church and I wanted to expand an outreach ministry to include Pastoral Counseling in my community. I purchased this text to cut down on the time I needed to spend to draft all of my forms from the ground up. This text not only provided the forms that I needed, but many others that I had not even considered. Not only that, the text explained the rational for needing the forms and how they can be used by various counselors.By Michael Shell
I am proud to say that this purchase saved me an incredible amount of money in the end in both time saved and attorney's fees. My attorney was impressed with the documents that I had tailored to my business. I must say this has helped my business in many ways.
