Treatment Planning with Choice Theory and Reality Therapy Michael H Fulkerson Lpcc-S

Choice Theory/Reality Therapy Treatment Planning describes how to write a theory-driven treatment plan, compatible with person-centered recovery planning principles and satisfy the expectations of insurance companies. Designed to be a primer for mental health practitioners desiring from a choice theory /reality therapy perspective, the author describes how to conceptualize a case study from a choice theory lens and how to implement a treatment plan using reality therapy. Formerly entitled, Treatment Planning from a Reality Therapy Perspective, this third edition includes three new chapters, including one on case conceptualization, integrating choice theory /reality therapy with person-centered recovery planning, and a case study example with a case conceptualization, treatment plan, and a description of the treatment plan implementation. Author Michael H. Fulkerson provides an explanation of how choice theory /reality therapy treatment planning differs from traditional treatment planning models, which are usually bsed on the medical model and/or external control psychology. He offers a synopsis of his experience and research using reality therapy as a treatment modality, presents a review of different treatment models and compares them to reality therapy, provides examples of how to write treatment plans from a public health model rather than a medical model, covers documentation of progress notes, and discusses case studies.
