Therapist's Guide to Clinical Intervention: The 1-2-3 of Treatment Planning

The book, Therapist's Guide to Clinical Intervention: The 1-2-3 of Treatment Planning, has been one of the most useful books that I have used at my school internship.  This book includes a list of all DSM5 diagnosis and how to treat them based on how your client is showing certain criteria.  What’s great about this book is that it also has information on other issues outside of the DSM-5 such as Suicide, physical pain, social issues, bullying and much more.  The book also has some useful forms for all social workers.  These forms include confidentiality, suicide contracts and much more. 

Where this book is limited is that it is not specific to the school setting.  The book is more general and will give you information for all areas of social work. 

The book is compiled of best practices for each diagnosis or specific situation that a client is facing.  

All interventions in the book are evidence based.  One thing that is important with this book to know is that since it is evidence based and new research is always being conducted, it is best to buy the most current version.
