Editorial Review:
Now in a revised and expanded third edition, this popular manual and CD-ROM provide the clinical, financial, and legal record-keeping tools that every psychotherapy practice needs. It is ideal both for new practitioners who want to hit the ground running, and seasoned pros who want to overhaul their paperwork and risk-reduction procedures. Included are methods for documenting informed consent, treatment planning, and progress; advice on fee structures, competitive pricing, and billing; tips on joining managed care panels and communicating with MCO reviewers; and much more. New or expanded coverage is provided of such topics as managed care, clinical supervision, ethical marketing practices, malpractice insurance, and online resources. Now HIPAA compliant and updated to include 2002 changes in the American Psychological Association's Ethics Code, the third edition features more than 60 ready-to-use forms, checklists, and handouts, which may be duplicated directly from the book or from the accompanying CD-ROM.

Why reinvent the wheel? 2008-08-24 There is not much to say other than this is all you need. There are forms that can be used, tweaked etc as well as the reasons why you need them. Why reinvent the wheel? It's all here and there is also a CD with all the forms included. Great resource for counselors!
So useful! Highly recommended. 2007-12-09 After several years at a CMHC, I recently launched a private practice. This book was enormously helpful. It got me to think through a variety of issues re: starting a practice, and provided many practical resources (eg URL's, books, etc) as well as the forms that can be downloaded and modified. Of all the practice-launching materials I obtained (and I looked at a lot of them), this was the most helpful by far. At first I hesitated because it is more expensive than some others, but it has proven its worth repeatedly. (Oh, and it's a write-off, of course.) I highly recommend it. (BTW, when I was first starting out in the field, and even sometimes now, I found his book, "Clinician's Thesaurus," quite useful.)
most forms not customizable 2007-09-26 I got this to upgrade the earlier edition I had bought during grad school. Now I am starting my private practice and wanted updated versions of the forms. I now find out most of the forms (some of the most important ones) in this new edition cannot be customized, they only give PDF versions in the CD, so they are basically unusable! I cannot insert my own header as the form recommends I do and at the bottom it says it is taken from Paper Office. This is infuriating. I feel cheated. I am sure the info in the book is good, but why would they do this with the forms? This seems to me like a step back from previous edition I had and it is a misrepresentation of what the book has to offer. SO beware not all the forms are customizable therefore useless, unless you want to copy the content onto word and reformat it.
The Paper Office 2007-08-23 This book is proving to be very helpful for my practice. It arrived in excellent condition. I am very pleased.
Book not received 2007-05-12 I would love to review this book, if Amazon had sent it to me. I have spent fruitless hours trying to reach Amazon to tell them that the book has not arived but their voice mail system has been down and their web site has no place for consumer complaints. I guess Amazon thinks they are perfect.
