Progress notes are the primary source for documenting the therapeutic process and one of the main factors in determining a client's eligibility for reimbursable treatment. The purpose of including the Progress Notes Planners in the PracticePlanners(R) Series is to assist the practitioner in easily and quickly constructing progress notes that are thoroughly unified with the client's treatment plan.
The Child Psychotherapy Progress Notes Planner, Sixth Edition, contains complete prewritten session and patient descriptions for each behavioral problem in the Child Psychotherapy Treatment Planner, Sixth Edition.
