PRACTICEPLANNERS® SERIES PREFACE

Accountability is an important dimension of the practice of psychotherapy. Treatment programs, public agencies, clinics, and practitioners must justify and document their treatment plans to outside review entities in order to be reimbursed for services. The books in the PracticePlanners® series are designed to help practitioners fulfill these documentation requirements efficiently and professionally.

The PracticePlanners® series includes a wide array of treatment planning books including not only the original Complete Adult Psychotherapy Treatment Planner, Child Psychotherapy Treatment Planner, and Adolescent Psychotherapy Treatment Planner, all now in their fifth editions, but also Treatment Planners targeted to specialty areas of practice, including:

Addictions

Co-occurring disorders

Behavioral medicine

College students

Couples therapy

Crisis counseling

Early childhood education

Employee assistance

Family therapy

Gays and lesbians

Group therapy

Juvenile justice and residential care

Mental retardation and developmental disability

Neuropsychology

Older adults

Parenting skills

Pastoral counseling

Personality disorders

Probation and parole

Psychopharmacology

Rehabilitation psychology

School counseling and school social work

Severe and persistent mental illness

Sexual abuse victims and offenders

Social work and human services

Special education

Speech-language pathology

Suicide and homicide risk assessment

Veterans and active military duty

Women's issues

In addition, there are three branches of companion books that can be used in conjunction with the Treatment Planners, or on their own:

Progress Notes Planners

provide a menu of progress statements that elaborate on the client's symptom presentation and the provider's therapeutic intervention. Each

Progress Notes Planner

statement is directly integrated with the behavioral definitions and therapeutic interventions from its companion

Treatment Planner

.

Homework Planners

include homework assignments designed around each presenting problem (such as anxiety, depression, substance use, anger control problems, eating disorders, or panic disorder) that is the focus of a chapter in its corresponding

Treatment Planner

.

Client Education Handout Planners

provide brochures and handouts to help educate and inform clients on presenting problems and mental health issues, as well as life skills techniques. The handouts are included on CD-ROMs for easy printing from your computer and are ideal for use in waiting rooms, at presentations, as newsletters, or as information for clients struggling with mental illness issues. The topics covered by these handouts correspond to the presenting problems in the

Treatment Planners

.

The series also includes adjunctive books, such as The Psychotherapy Documentation Primer and The Clinical Documentation Sourcebook, containing forms and resources to aid the clinician in mental health practice management.

The goal of our series is to provide practitioners with the resources they need in order to provide high-quality care in the era of accountability. To put it simply: We seek to help you spend more time on patients, and less time on paperwork.

ARTHUR E. JONGSMA, JR.Grand Rapids, Michigan

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

A variety of people should be acknowledged for their assistance in developing this Planner. First, the clients who have been willing to share their lives and troubles have taught us more than can be written. Several staff members of the Community Mental Health Centers in Ionia County and Newaygo County (both in Michigan) have either knowingly or unknowingly provided feedback and ideas throughout the unfolding of this project. While developing the first edition of this Planner, the authors were also involved in the writing of The Mental Retardation and Developmental Disability Treatment Planner, with Kellye Slaggert. Many ideas developed for that Planner were adapted for this one. Barbara Berghuis, wife of the primary author, and a case manager herself, was instrumental in developing and critiquing the manuscript throughout the process. The library staff of Calvin College and Seminary were invaluable in their assistance while researching material for this project.

This second edition has been improved beyond measure by the guidance and contribution of Dr. Tim Bruce. He has been our well-informed expert on the evidence-based content that exists in the professional literature. Thank you, Tim.

Sue Rhoda, our manuscript manager, has been a wonderful assistant who has very efficiently kept all the details organized, allowing us to submit a final product that has been polished by her professional hand. Thank you, Sue.

No project this large gets completed without other priorities being rearranged. The willingness of our families to allow us to take the time to bring this idea to fruition is very much appreciated. It is their support and guidance that have allowed us to help others. The editorial staff at John Wiley & Sons has consistently provided us with supremely competent encouragement and guidance for which we are grateful.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT PRACTICEPLANNERS® TREATMENT PLANNERS

Pressure from third-party payors, accrediting agencies, and other outside parties has increased the need for clinicians to quickly produce effective, high-quality treatment plans. Treatment Planners provide all the elements necessary to quickly and easily develop formal treatment plans that satisfy the needs of most third-party payors and state and federal review agencies.

Each Treatment Planner:

Saves you hours of time-consuming paperwork.

Offers the freedom to develop customized treatment plans.

Includes over 1,000 clear statements describing the behavioral manifestations of each relational problem, and includes long-term goals, short-term objectives, and clinically tested treatment options.

Has an easy-to-use reference format that helps locate treatment plan components by behavioral problem or

DSM-5

diagnosis.

As with the rest of the books in the PracticePlanners® series, our aim is to clarify, simplify, and accelerate the treatment planning process, so you spend less time on paperwork, and more time with your clients.

ABOUT THE SEVERE AND PERSISTENT MENTAL ILLNESS TREATMENT PLANNER

The field of treatment for the severely and persistently mentally ill is at a pivotal point in its evolution. New medications have provided stability to people who have been chronically unstable in the past. What started with deinstitutionalization and the growth of community mental health centers has gradually transformed into a myriad of agencies and clinicians who provide treatment in a variety of settings. Many changes have also occurred for the agencies serving this population. In many areas, the service providers have been compelled to become more efficient and competitive for their clientele. Most agencies are required to obtain accreditation from outside auditors, such as the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Health Organizations (JCAHO), Council on Accreditation (COA), or the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). Payors often demand documentation of positive outcomes for clients whom we serve. With these many changes in the field, the need for better organization, treatment techniques, and documentation becomes self-evident.

To fill this need, we have developed The Severe and Persistent Mental Illness Treatment Planner. This Planner suggests thousands of prewritten behavioral definitions, objectives, goals, and interventions for a variety of problem areas experienced by the men and women who suffer from chronic mental illness. This book will be useful to any clinician working with this population, but care has been taken to write from the perspective of the clinician who manages the client's entire treatment, whether he or she be called a case manager, supports coordinator, social worker, or some other name. Goals and interventions are written for a variety of types and levels of intensity of severe and persistent mental illnesses. It is our hope that this Planner will allow clinicians to quickly and accurately develop and implement helpful treatment plans for their clients. In this second edition, we have made the chapters more focused and, in many cases, shorter. We have also added a few new chapters. But the most significant change for this edition is the addition of evidence-based Objectives and Interventions to those chapters where research data is available to inform the content.

INCORPORATING EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT (EBT)

Evidence-based treatment (that is, treatment that is scientifically shown in research trials to be efficacious) is rapidly becoming critically important to the mental health community because insurance companies are beginning to offer preferential pay to organizations using it. In fact, the APA Division 12 (Society of Clinical Psychology) lists of empirically supported treatments have been referenced by a number of local, state, and federal funding agencies, which are beginning to restrict reimbursement to these treatments, as are some managed care and insurance companies.

In this second edition of The Severe and Persistent Mental Illness Treatment Planner, we have made an effort to empirically inform some chapters by highlighting short-term objectives (STOs) and therapeutic interventions (TIs) that are consistent with psychological treatments or therapeutic programs that have demonstrated some level of efficacy through empirical study. Watch for this icon as an indication that an Objective/Intervention is consistent with those found in evidence-based treatments.

References to their empirical support have been included in Appendix B. For information related to the identification of evidence-based practices (EBPs), including the benefits and limitations of the effort, we suggest Bruce and Sanderson (2005); Chambless et. al. (1996, 1998); Chambless and Ollendick (2001); Drake, Merrens, and Lynde (2005); Hofmann and Tompson (2002); Nathan and Gorman (2002); and Stout and Hayes (2005).

In this Planner, we have included STOs and TIs consistent with EBPs that are more programmatic than psychotherapeutic in nature and that have been found efficacious for problems common to those struggling with severe and persistent mental illnesses (SPMIs). Examples include supported employment and family psychoeducation. We have also included STOs and TIs reflective of psychotherapeutic approaches that have shown efficacy for disorders typically subsumed under the SPMI rubric (e.g., interpersonal therapy for depression, cognitive behavior therapy for psychotic features). In addition, we included STOs and TIs reflective of treatments that been found efficacious for problems not commonly characterized as SPMIs (e.g., obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety), but that nonetheless present clinically on occasion, have an evidence base within the populations studied, and that therapists may adapt for use with clients who struggle with these problems. Beyond references to the empirical studies supporting these interventions, we have provided references to therapist- and client-oriented books and treatment manuals that describe the use of identified EBPs or treatments consistent with their objectives and interventions. Recognizing that there are STOs and TIs that practicing clinicians have found useful but that have not yet received empirical scrutiny, we have included those that reflect common best practice among experienced clinicians. The goal is to provide a range of treatment plan options, some studied empirically, others reflecting common clinical practice, so the users can construct what they believe to be the best plan for a particular client.

In some instances, the EBPs referenced are short-term, problem-oriented treatments that focus on improving current specific problems or symptoms related to a client's current distress and disability. For those, STOs and TIs reflective of the EBP have been placed earlier in the sequence of STO and TI options. In addition, some STOs and TIs reflect core components of the EBP approach that are always delivered (e.g., exposure to feared objects and situations for a phobic disorders; behavioral activation for depression). Others reflect adjuncts to treatment that may or may not be used all the time (e.g., social and other communication skills, stress management skills). For the EBPs that are more programmatic in nature, such as supported employment, the STOs and TIs are consistent with the types of competencies in which professionals who deliver these inventions are trained. Most of the STOs and TIs associated with the EBPs are described at a level of detail that permits flexibility and adaptability in their specific application. As with all Planners in this series, each chapter includes the option to add STOs and TIs at the therapist's discretion.

Criteria for Inclusion of Evidence-Based Therapies

The EBPs from which STOs and TIs were taken have different levels of empirical work supporting them. Some have been well established as efficacious for the changes they target (e.g., supported employment). Others have less support, but nonetheless have demonstrated efficacy. The EBPs for disorders not typically classified as SPMIs, such as panic disorder and other anxiety disorders, have very strong empirical support for their efficacy, but have established that support through studies whose participants carried a primary diagnosis of an anxiety disorder, not a SPMI. These approaches have been included in this edition because some clients who struggle with SPMIs and also struggle with these other disorders may benefit from these EBP approaches. With that in mind, however, we have included EBPs for which the empirical support has either been well established or demonstrated at more than a preliminary level as defined by those authors who have undertaken the task of identifying them, such as Drake and colleagues (2003, 2005), Chambless and colleagues (1996, 1998), and Nathan and Gorman (1998, 2002).

At minimum, efficacy needed to be demonstrated through a clinical trial or large clinical replication series with features reflecting good experimental design (e.g., random assignment, blind assignments, reliable and valid measurement, clear inclusion and exclusion criteria, state-of-the-art diagnostic methods, and adequate sample size or replications). Well-established EBPs typically have more than one of these types of studies demonstrating their efficacy, as well as other desirable features such as demonstration of efficacy by independent research groups and specification of client characteristics for which the treatment was effective.

Because treatment literatures for various problems develop at different rates, treatment STOs and TIs that have been included may have the most empirical support for their problem area, but less than that found in more heavily studied areas. For example, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) has the highest level of empirical support of tested psychotherapies for borderline personality disorder (BPD), but that level of evidence is lower than that supporting, for example, supported employment or exposure-based therapy for phobic fear and avoidance. The latter two have simply been studied more extensively, so there are more trials, replications, and the like. Nonetheless, within the psychotherapy outcome literature for BPD, DBT clearly has the highest level of evidence supporting its efficacy and usefulness. Accordingly, STOs and TIs consistent with DBT have been included in this edition. Last, all interventions, empirically supported or not, must be adapted to the particular client in light of his/her personal circumstances, strengths, and vulnerabilities. The STOs and TIs included in this Planner are written in a manner to suggest and allow this adaptability.

HOW TO USE THIS TREATMENT PLANNER

Use this Treatment Planner to write treatment plans according to the following six-step progression:

Problem Selection.

Although the client may discuss a variety of issues during the assessment, the clinician must determine the most significant problems on which to focus the treatment process. Usually a primary problem will surface, and secondary problems may also be evident. Some other problems may have to be set aside as not urgent enough to require treatment at this time. An effective treatment plan can only deal with a few selected problems or treatment will lose its direction. Choose the problem within this

Planner

that most accurately represents your client's presenting issues.

Problem Definition.

Each client presents with unique nuances as to how a problem behaviorally reveals itself in his or her life. Therefore, each problem that is selected for treatment focus requires a specific definition about how it is evidenced in the particular client. The symptom pattern should be associated with diagnostic criteria and codes such as those found in the

DSM-5

or the

International Classification of Diseases

. This

Planner

offers such behaviorally specific definition statements to choose from or to serve as a model for your own personally crafted statements.

Goal Development.

The next step in developing your treatment plan is to set broad goals for the resolution of the target problem. These statements need not be crafted in measurable terms but can be global, long-term goals that indicate a desired positive outcome to the treatment procedures. This

Planner

provides several possible goal statements for each problem, but one statement is all that is required in a treatment plan.

Objective Construction.

In contrast to long-term goals, objectives must be stated in behaviorally measurable language so that it is clear to review agencies, health maintenance organizations, and managed care organizations when the client has achieved the established objectives. The objectives presented in this

Planner

are designed to meet this demand for accountability. Numerous alternatives are presented to allow construction of a variety of treatment plan possibilities for the same presenting problem.

Intervention Creation.

Interventions are the actions of the clinician designed to help the client complete the objectives. There should be at least one intervention for every objective. If the client does not accomplish the objective after the initial intervention, new interventions should be added to the plan. Interventions should be selected on the basis of the client's needs and the treatment provider's full therapeutic repertoire. This

Planner

contains interventions from a broad range of therapeutic approaches, and we encourage the provider to write other interventions reflecting his or her own training and experience.

Some suggested interventions listed in the Planner refer to specific books that can be assigned to the client for adjunctive bibliotherapy. Appendix A contains a full bibliographic reference list of these materials. For further information about self-help books, mental health professionals may wish to consult The Authoritative Guide to Self-Help Resources in Mental Health, Revised Edition (New York: Guilford Press, 2003) by Norcross et al.

Diagnosis Determination.

The determination of an appropriate diagnosis is based on an evaluation of the client's complete clinical presentation. The clinician must compare the behavioral, cognitive, emotional, and interpersonal symptoms that the client presents with the criteria for diagnosis of a mental illness condition as described in

DSM-5

. Despite arguments made against diagnosing clients in this manner, diagnosis is a reality that exists in the world of mental health care, and it is a necessity for third-party reimbursement. It is the clinician's thorough knowledge of

DSM-5

criteria and a complete understanding of the client assessment data that contribute to the most reliable, valid diagnosis.

Congratulations! After completing these six steps, you should have a comprehensive and individualized treatment plan ready for immediate implementation and presentation to the client. A sample treatment plan for Medication Management is provided at the end of this introduction.

A FINAL NOTE ON TAILORING THE TREATMENT PLAN TO THE CLIENT

One important aspect of effective treatment planning is that each plan should be tailored to the individual client's problems and needs. Treatment plans should not be mass-produced, even if clients have similar problems. The individual's strengths and weaknesses, unique stressors, social network, family circumstances, and symptom patterns must be considered in developing a treatment strategy. Drawing on our years of clinical experience, we have put together a variety of treatment choices. These statements can be combined in thousands of permutations to develop detailed treatment plans. Relying on their own good judgment, clinicians can easily select the statements that are appropriate for the individuals whom they are treating. In addition, we encourage readers to add their own definitions, goals, objects, and interventions to the existing samples. As with all of the books in the Treatment Planners series, it is our hope that this book will help promote effective, creative treatment planning—a process that will ultimately benefit the client, clinicians, and mental health community.
