Theory-Based Treatment Planning for Marriage and Family Therapists: Integrating Theory and Practice,   ISBN:9780534536169

Customer Rating: 

Theory-Based Treatment Planning was a very useful tool in studying for my California MFT exam. My four star rating is based solely on the omission of a psychodynamic approach to therapy covered in the state exam.

Customer Rating: 

I used this book instead of the required reading for my Theories and Techniques one and two classes. This book not only covers theories, it has treatment plans (yes treatment plans) and vignettes for each theory and it covered all the phases of goals (early, middle and late phases). It's so thin, I carry it with me when seeing client's, it's very helpful when I'm doing my treatment plans!

Customer Rating: 

This textbook was recommended by my professor, and I find it a good tool for therapists who are looking for very basic theoretical information on the various therapies for families out there. Good examples and vignettes make its application simpler.

Good for beginners.

Customer Rating: 

This book is tailored for California MFTs. It covers the major theories that are presently in use. It gives clear vignettes and has excellent treatment goals for each stage of therapy. It is a necessity to have this book when studying for the Standard Written and Written Clinical Vignette exams.
