Breaking Free of Managed Care: A Step- By- Step Guide to Regaining Control of Your Practice (Paperback)

Breaking Free of Managed Care: A Step- By- Step Guide to Regaining Control of Your Practice Book Description

Designed for today's frontline therapists and mental health care providers, The Clinician's Toolbox brings you easy-to-use books, manuals, and computer programs that offer immediate benefits in your day-to-day work. Ideal for all clinical orientations and practice settings, these hands-on resources can make your work more effective, efficient, and responsive to current real-world demands: managed care, evolving ethical concerns, limited resources, expanding technology, diversity, and more.

Providing therapists practical solutions to managed care's erosion of their freedom to practice, this book presents a working blueprint for a private-pay psychotherapy practice. Dana C. Ackley casts out the distortions that have crept into many clinicians' thinking as a result of reliance on third-party reimbursement. Ackley shows how therapists can better serve clients by developing real alternatives to the pressures and bureaucracy of managed care. Includes practical exercises and checklists, sample marketing materials, and payment plans.
