“The Clinician’s Thesaurus is like having a trusted colleague nearby to consult with. It helps you develop more nuanced, clinically relevant descriptions when writing a report, treatment plan, or case conceptualization. The Thesaurus has been beside me since graduate school, and continues to be a clinical companion that I enthusiastically recommend to colleagues and supervisees.”
—Joseph G. Potaczek, PsyD, private practice, Chicago
“Psychological interviews and psychological reports are among the most important aspects of working with patients—and have the least amount of published guidance. The Clinician's Thesaurus text fills a gap in the literature by providing a wealth of information, strategies, and practical suggestions. In its ninth edition, this book remains by far the most thorough, comprehensive, and helpful guide that I have seen for both psychological interviewing and report writing.”
—Andrew S. Davis, PhD, School of Education, University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee
“The ninth edition of this comprehensive resource is useful for clinicians at all stages, from trainees writing their first reports to seasoned professionals. It offers practical content including relevant questions across a range of clinical presentations; rich descriptive terms for behavioral, cognitive, and emotional phenomena; and guidance for describing the person and their behavior in everyday contexts. The authors describe key aspects of clinical reports and other types of documentation and discuss ethical considerations in interviewing and report writing. The ninth edition provides fully updated online resources and guides, along with current and inclusive language. This is an invaluable resource and text for mental health training programs, as well as for teaching and supervising integrated clinical assessments.”
