The Task Planner

A comprehensive, A-to-Z set of task planners for more than one hundred psychosocial problems from alcoholism and anxiety to domestic violence and sexual abuse. This invaluable guide and resource includes: ? a menu of actions the client can undertake to effect problem resolution, ? a clear, step-by-step guide to the practitioner's role in facilitating these actions, ? a glossary of procedures for human service professionals, and ? a CD-ROM companion resource. The systematic and streamlined techniques found in The Task Planner present clients with specific tasks for helping resolve their problems. With the task-centered approach, clients are actively involved in reaching their own solutions or coping mechanisms -- both on their own and in treatment sessions -- giving them a sense of empowerment.
