Download or read book The Private Practice of Behavior Therapy written by Sheldon J. Kaplan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-08 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entering a full-time private practice and forsaking the comforts of a regular paycheck was a difficult decision for me. Fortunately, I was able to begin my practice on a part-time basis in space rented from two physician friends. By using my behavior skills for self-management and organization, I was then able to help my practice grow so that, with some trepidation, I moved into a full-time practice. I have continued to maintain my practice according to the same ethical, professional, and business assumptions discussed in this book. One of the reasons for my writing this book is that, at the time I was beginning my practice, there was no one text that helped me begin or to explain what "nuts and bolts" issues I needed to consider. As my practice has grown, I continued to see a need for a resource text to help the beginning therapist get started. I decided to describe the assump tions, methods, and issues that I have used so as to present a discussion of timely issues relevant to the practice of behavior therapy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marketing, office planning, networking, managed care, legal liability. These are probably not the words that encouraged your decision to pursue a career in the field of mental health.

Independent Practice for the Mental Health Professional, co-written by a veteran therapist and a therapist just beginning in her practice, offers the information needed to balance the demands of running a business along with being a therapist. Based on Joan Beigel and Ralph Earle's previous work, Successful Private Practice in the 1990s, this book offers specific tools for building a successful private practice for the next century. Independent Practice for the Mental Health Professional provides the reader with the experience and time-tested lessons of one author who has been in practice since 1971. At the same time, the co-author, who began her practice in May 1998, addresses the thoughts and concerns of those therapists soon to enter, or thinking about entering, private practice. In this book, readers will learn · the pros and cons of going solo or joining a group practice · the legal issues connected to running a private practice · how to market themselves as well as their practice · how to arrange physically their office, manage personnel, and collect fees · how to maintain a thriving practice in the age of managed care The authors provide worksheets and examples of successful planning for the growth of a practice. When combined with hard work and a business-minded attitude, these techniques can be a recipe for success. As a result, this book is a valuable resource for therapists thinking about entering private practice, and beginning and experienced therapists hoping to improve their own practice.
