Mental Health Outcomes: A Therapist's Guide to Measuring Client Progress, Analyzing Data,
and Improving Your Practice
Donald E. Wiger, Kenneth B. Solberg
Description
A complete, step-by-step guide to tracking and documenting treatment outcomes

assessment and documentation methods. Tracking Mental Health Outcomes fills this gap,
providing step-by-step guidance on choosing the best outcomes-tracking methods and
instruments for your practice. You’ll see how to integrate them into everyday
clinical procedures and use the data they supply to improve the quality of care you
provide as well as fully comply with insurance company and regulatory agency requirements.
An indispensable working resource for mental health professionals, Tracking Mental Health
