Clinician-s Thesaurus : The Guide to Conducting Interviews and Writing Psychological Reports

Hundreds of thousands of students and early-career professionals have relied on this authoritative report-writing tool, now updated for DSM-5/ICD-10-CM and newer types of evaluations. In a convenient large-size format with lay-flat binding, the book covers nearly all areas of concern addressed in intakes, evaluations, treatment plans, progress notes, and closing summaries.

The user seeking the right wording for a clinical document can skim and select from thousands of technical terms, behavioural descriptors, and standard statements. Also provided are interview questions for almost every symptomatic behaviour, a huge collection of mental status questions, a reproducible Mental Status Evaluation summary form, and links to hundreds of Internet resources.

The periodically updated companion website offers all the URLs from the book, the reproducible forms, and a handy reference on current psychiatric medications.
