Description
"
Treatment Planning for Person-Centered Care puts the entire concept of individualized service planning into understandable
language for all readers. The authors have captured the essence of active involvement of the persons served in the identification of
needs (as well as strengths) and the development of a plan that will address those needs. This book is definitely in concert with and
supports the CARF Behavioral Health standards, and would be an excellent resource to better understand how to move towards a person-centered
assessment and planning process."
-Nikki Migas, M.P.A., Managing Director, Behavioral Health Customer Service Unit, CARF… the Rehabilitation

"This book encourages the field to turn a very important corner. It clarifies the goals and the processes
that Mental Health and Alcohol/Drug systems presently need to focus on: joining with clients to help them enter/re-enter their communities
and successfully exit the treatment systems. This book will help practitioners develop the necessary conceptual overview as well as individual
components of service plans that will significantly enhance our clients’ chances for real world success."
-Ed Diksa, California Institute
for Mental Health
"The authors take what for many clinicians is irritating paperwork requirement, treatment planning, that is a diversion
from their "real" work of therapy and turn it into a valuable tool. By placing the person, the client at the center of planning, Adams
and Grieder take the reader step by step through a transforming process. They lead us to re-think whose goals we are trying to achieve
in treatment. This book could precipitate many fruitful seminar discussions during clinical training."
