Streamline EAP treatment planning with DSM 5-TR aligned documentation tools

The Employee Assistance Treatment Planner, now in its Second Edition, equips mental health professionals with ready-to-use elements for creating formal treatment plans addressing problems that impair work performance. This trusted resource enables clinicians to quickly develop individualized plans from well-crafted, measurable descriptions.

This updated edition incorporates DSM 5-TR content throughout, including revised behavioral definitions and diagnostic suggestions. New objectives, many consistent with empirically supported treatments, address therapeutic relationship building, plus the assessment of insight, motivation, comorbidity, cultural factors, and suicidality. Updated interventions reflect current evidence-based practice. Two new appendices compile bibliotherapy references and professional resources cited throughout the chapters.

Key features include:

• Treatment plan construction recommendations guiding therapists in meeting third-party payer and TJC accreditation requirements for documentation
• Updated DSM 5-TR aligned behavioral definitions and diagnostic terminology reflecting current diagnostic standards and practices
• New therapeutic relationship objectives reflecting empirical support for the role of alliance building in optimizing treatment outcomes
• Chapters include references to targeted homework exercise options from the Adult Psychotherapy Homework Planner

The Employee Assistance Treatment Planner serves social workers, counselors, clinical psychologists, psychotherapists, and other mental health professionals working in employee assistance programs. This practical resource streamlines documentation while ensuring treatment plans meet accreditation standards and reflect current evidence-based therapeutic practices.
