The School Counseling and School Social Work Treatment Planner

In current times the individual counselor or social worker no longer has the autonomy they once had. They must strictly adhere to intervention guidelines set out for them in order to meet the "demands of HMOs, managed care companies, third-party payors, and state and federal agencies." If it seems like a tall order and daunting, it is. However, if we all have guidelines laid out for us in a book, we can not only have some wiggle room to independently formulate treatment plans while conforming to all the rules and regulations we must now follow. We've all had experience with goals and objectives whether on the job or in our personal lives, but step-by-step treatment planners such as this one make life infinitely easier.

Yes, you may say to yourself that you don't need a treatment planner, and perhaps you don't. You may be an experienced practitioner who knows the ins and outs of the system, but if you are new to school counseling or social work this book may be essential. Additionally, this would be a perfect text for graduate students to explore and incorporate into their curriculum. One of the first sentences in the introduction indicated to me the purpose of the book, reiterated the demand issues from outside parties that force "clinicians to quickly produce effective, high-quality treatment plans." If you have no outside forces pressuring you and don't need regimented treatment plans for your agency or IEP in the school setting you may wish to pass.

Although this text may seem somewhat simplistic in its layout, I only see that as a bonus. Who needs to pore over a complicated dense tome? In essence there are six progressive steps we need to look at:

1. Problem Selection

2. Problem Definition

3. Goal Development

4.
