Use of Psychological Testing for Treatment Planning and Outcomes Assessment

Discover the essential resource for mental health practitioners in the modern managed care environment with "Use of Psychological Testing for Treatment Planning and Outcomes Assessment" by Mark E. Maruish. Published by Taylor & Francis Inc in 2004, this comprehensive third edition spans 666 pages and delves into the practical application of psychological testing.

Rather than following the traditional paths of personality assessment and diagnosis, this book focuses on critical questions that guide effective treatment planning: What course of treatment is appropriate for each individual? How is the treatment progressing? And, ultimately, was it effective? Maruish's insightful approach empowers professionals to utilize psychological testing to improve outcomes and enhance patient care in both therapy and assessment contexts.

Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or new to the field, this book is a must-have for anyone looking to elevate their practice in psychology, psychiatry, and psychotherapy for children and adolescents.
