Treatment plans for mental health care
DJ Knesper and D Miller
The authors present a method for the development of standard process
criteria for the care of defined subpopulations of psychiatric patients
using a two-dimensional problem category system to describe patients.
Patient subpopulations, described by both a traditional psychopathological
problem cluster and a less traditional psychosocial problem cluster, are
matched to a list of problem-solving services to develop a model treatment
plan. The authors present this method for developing standard treatment
plans as an alternative to APA's Model Criteria Sets.
