1: Starting a mental health pracitce-urgently.
I had to find an office and begin seeing a few patients 6 months before I had planned to open my part-time private practice. Having read many books on the topic, I felt ready to get going. Alas, I did not want to spend a lot on a computer office management system when only seeing a few clients for now. Thankfully, after reading the reviews on Amazon.com, I found the Clinical Documentation Sourcebook. Due to fast shipping, I was able to be fully prepared for my first client. The book had easy to use forms that I could duplicate. I was able to utilize many forms on a variety of issues that I hadn't even considered. I am very pleased. I would recommend this book to others as well.

2: Not what it's cracked up to be....
I was hoping that this book would have some quick & easy, down & dirty, managed care friendly forms to use, and that the enclosed disc would let me modify them for my practice. Not so. The "up to date" (please note the sarcasm!) forms entailed loads of writing - and were not anything that would help speed up the paperwork process. The disc? What a joke. If you just want to spend money, take yourself out to eat - don't waste it on this book!
|
3: Below average software
The software does NOT work on an iMac. When used with Windows Vista, the forms are available to customize, however, they need streamlining and updating with regard to fonts, spacing, etc. The documents don't look as if they have been updated aesthetically since the first edition of the book. Disappointing.

4: The Clinical Documentation Sourcebook
This sourcebook is the best one I have found to assist with beginning a clinical practice and producing legal documentation.
|
5: A must have...
This book was a life saver for me as I opened my solo practice this summer. Without it, I would have spent countless hours developing these forms myself. The feature that allows you to customize the forms is especially nice. I recommend this for new or veteran mental health workers.
