The Child Psychotherapy Treatment Planner is a valuable resource for practitioners seeking to optimize their treatment planning process for children. With its newly revised sixth edition, this book offers evidence-based and empirically supported interventions, allowing therapists to create effective treatment plans quickly and efficiently. By streamlining paperwork, therapists can free up more time to focus on their clients.

One of the standout features of the sixth edition is the inclusion of a new evidence-based Short-Term Objective and two Therapeutic Interventions at the beginning of each chapter. These interventions are carefully selected to ensure they are both effective and meaningful in therapy. With a focus on evidence-based practices, therapists can feel confident that they are providing quality care to their young clients.

In addition to the new objective and interventions, this edition also introduces new and revised evidence-based Objectives and Interventions along with more professional resources and best-practice citations. The inclusion of suggested homework assignments helps maintain progress between therapy sessions, allowing clients to continue their growth even outside of the therapy room.

This edition also encompasses two entirely new chapters, Bullying Victim and Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder, further expanding the book’s coverage of important topics in child psychotherapy. These new chapters address current issues faced by many children and provide therapists with the necessary tools to address these challenges effectively.

Another valuable feature of the Child Psychotherapy Treatment Planner is the integration of DSM-5/ICD-10 diagnostic labels and codes throughout each chapter. This ensures the book is aligned with current diagnostic guidelines, making it a reliable resource for therapists.

It’s worth noting that the Bibliotherapy Appendix A has been updated to include an updated self-help book list. This addition further enhances the therapist’s toolkit by providing additional resources for clients to explore individually, helping to augment their therapy progress.

The book is designed to promote efficient use of practitioners’ time, offering a clear and concise format that allows for quick reference and easy implementation of treatment plans. The comprehensive nature of the book, combined with its evidence-based approach, makes it an essential resource for clinicians responsible for the development of treatment plans for children.
