Handbook of Private Practice is the premier resource for mental
health clinicians, covering all aspects of developing and
maintaining a successful private practice. Written for graduate
students considering the career path of private practice,
professionals wanting to transition into private practice, and
current private practitioners who want to improve their practice,
this book combines the overarching concepts needed to take a mental
health practice (whether solo or in a group) from inception,
through its lifespan. From envisioning your practice, to accounting
and bookkeeping, hiring staff, managing the practice, and running
the business of the practice, a diverse group of expert authors
describe the practical considerations and steps to take to enhance
your success. Chapters cover marketing, dealing with insurance and
managed care, and how to choose your advisors. Ethics and risk
management are integrated throughout the text with a special
section also devoted to these issues and strategies. The last
section features 26 niche practices in which expert practitioners
describe their special area of practice and discuss important
issues and aspects of their specialty practice. These areas include
assessment and evaluation, specialized psychotherapy services,
working with unique populations of clients, and more. Whether read
cover-to-cover or used as a reference to repeatedly come back to
when a question or challenge arises, this book is full of practical
guidance directly geared to psychologists, counselors, social
workers, and marriage and family therapists in independent
practice.
Bringing Psychotherapy to the Underserved examines the challenging
problem of providing psychotherapy services to underserved, often
marginalized populations, both within and outside of the US. The
book begins by addressing systemic factors that prevent certain
populations from accessing services (health system issues, issues
relating to the military, and natural and man-made disasters).
Expert contributors then addresses those underserved due to
discrimination (ethnic minorities, the economically disadvantaged,
sexual and gender minorities, and so on). The following section of
the book focuses on populations in transition and in undeserved
locations (civilians and refugees of war, immigrants, and those in
rural areas). Next are addressed those people who are often
overlooked, such as children, older adults, and those with
intellectual and developmental disabilities. Each of these chapters
discusses the scope of the problem, barriers to service delivery,
creating cultural competency, effective strategies and
empirically-supported treatments, and future steps. The book closes
by addressing ethical and research challenges relevant to bringing
psychotherapy services to these groups.
Private mental health practice is a vibrant and financially
rewarding profession. And yet many who consider pursuing this path
are misled by falsehoods that can result in costly mistakes - or
avoidance of this fulfilling and worthwhile career. There is no
need to market my practice, clients will find me. I learned
everything I need to know about private practice in graduate
school. I don't need an attorney or a CPA. Self-care is for
students. But there is, you didn't, you do, and no, it most
certainly is not. In If You Build It They Will Come, Jeffrey
Barnett and Jeffrey Zimmerman dismantle common misconceptions
relating to the preparation, management, and ethics of entering and
running a successful private practice in the mental health
professions. In addition to sharing accurate information to refute
each "myth", the authors provide vital information on how to be
successful in private practice, identifying common pitfalls and
challenges and offering specific and practical strategies to
address and move beyond the myth. Chapters conclude with
recommended resources and readings. Blending decades of clinical
experience with practical no-nonsense advice about running a
practice, If You Build It They Will Come helps fill the gaps in
practice development training. Trainees and recent graduates in
clinical psychology, social work, and counseling will benefit from
this book's personal, candid, and optimistic approach.
Mental health professionals in private practice strive for clinical
and financial success. Yet, there are myriad ethical issues and
dilemmas awaiting every practitioner that serve as challenges to
being successful for even the most clinically competent and savvy
business persons. Some ethics issues are obvious while others are
more subtle and can undermine the best intentions of practitioners
who have not prepared for these challenges. Graduate training
programs in the mental health professions offer courses in ethics
for their students, but few offer practical training in the
application of ethics to the business of practice. A resource
focusing specifically on these challenges has been sorely needed.
The Ethics of Private Practice helps mental health professionals
understand the essential ethical issues related to many of the
challenges of being in independent mental health practice. Seasoned
clinicians Barnett, Zimmerman, and Walfish offer readers astute
insight to help them build a practice that is designed to minimize
unintended ethical violations and reduce associated risks. Each
chapter focuses on a major aspect of the business of practice and
incorporates relevant standards from the ethics codes of four
mental health professions. Topics addressed include planning one's
private practice, successfully running and managing one's practice,
documentation and record keeping, dealing with third parties and
protecting confidentiality, managing practice finances and making
financial decisions, staff training and office policies,
advertising and the effective marketing of one's practice,
continuing professional development activities, and the closing of
a private practice. The authors discuss important questions such
as: What do you do as a practitioner when your best referral source
wants to become your client? What is appropriate use of social
media? How should you respond when a managed care company denies
authorization for treatment for a client that you know is in
obvious need of further treatment? Full of practical tips that can
be readily implemented, The Ethics of Private Practice is sure to
be a handy, go-to resource for mental health clinicians in private
practice.
Narrative therapy's lack of emphasis on emotional expression has
concerned many. This book bridges the gap, showing how brain
science contributes to understanding emotion. Neuro and narrative
together can produce more effective therapeutic results.
The 2-volume APA Handbook of Psychotherapy
comprehensively presents the field based on the primary ways
in which professionals practice psychotherapy and affect such
practice through theory, research, and training. 50
authoritative chapters capture the most representative ways in
which psychotherapists characterize the driving forces behind their
foundational therapeutic approaches. Therapists may: Administer
psychotherapy according to a specific theoretical orientation,
applying this model across most patients and contexts. Use a
specific, "named" therapy to primarily treat patients suffering
from a particular disorder. Draw on research evidence to
administer psychotherapy in a way that can include, but also
transcend, specific theoretical. orientations and disorder-specific
interventions. Generate data and draw on varied forms of research
psychotherapy in a participant-driven and contextually responsive
manner. These chapters represent the latest thinking and evidence
on the most relevant topics across the "big four" psychotherapy
domains of theory, research, practice, and training. All four parts
are written for researchers, practitioners, scholars, and trainers,
with the major difference among the sections being their emphasis
on, and order of, discussing the "big four" elements.
