Overview

First published in 1992, this text outlines an approach that became the standard for writing treatment plans in psychiatry. Developed by clinical psychiatrist James A. Kennedy, this practical method organizes psychiatric problems into seven categories: psychological impairment, social skills, violence, activities of daily living, substance abuse, medical impairment, and ancillary impairment. Treatment plans are developed using information gathered with the Kennedy Axis V, an instrument that has been more successful than both the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scale and the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) in establishing baselines and determining outcome measures. In addition to the Kennedy Axis V questionnaire, the volume also includes examples of actual treatment plans, blank forms for treatment planning, and tabbed sections to allow for quick reference. New features in this second edition include the integration of nursing care plans into master treatment plans, new systematic steps for building goals and modalities, refinements to the questionnaire, and the introduction of online support via the author's website.

Reviews

Fundamentals of Psychiatric Treatment Planning, Second Edition, by Dr. James Kennedy is a comprehensive manual which enhances the role of nursing with the multidisciplinary clinical team. His integration of nursing diagnosis and nursing care planning into the Master Treatment Plan encourages and fosters continuous nursing assessment and evaluation throughout the treatment planning process. This manual will be an invaluable reference in the educational preparation of advance practice nurses in psychiatric care as well as in the clinical area. - Kathryn Raymond, M.S., R.N., B.C., Psychiatric Clinical Nurse Specialist, Worcester State Hospital, Wocester, Massachusetts; This book provides an interesting framework for conceptualizing treatment planning around the psychosocial domains of the Kennedy Axis V. It is an excellent text for the beginner or the veteran clinician. It will see high use in an era of evidence based treatment. - Jeff Bearden, LMSW-ACP, BCD, Director of Forensic Psychiatric Programs, North Texas State Hospital, Vernon, Texas
