What are the implications for practice? And the literature on outcomes research geared towards professionals - which would provide answers - has been virtually nonexistent until now. In Treatment Outcomes in Psychotherapy and Psychiatric Interventions, the authors have created a road map through the theoretical and clinical territories that must be negotiated on the way to treatment accountability. Part One provides an overview of the clinical issues associated with treatment outcomes. There are discussions of outcomes measures, monitoring and management, and the necessary shift from generic to prescriptive treatment. In Part Two, coverage spans clinical applications of outcomes measures to outpatient psychiatry, inpatient treatment, substance abuse treatment, primary care, and more.

It will also be of interest to case managers, students, benefit managers, and executives, |
