Editorial Reviews

Review

"The Clinician’s Thesaurus has once again been extensively revised, with the help of many suggestions from readers, to reflect clinical realities in the 21st century. Of course, the title doesn't do it justice: in addition to offering lists of synonyms, the book provides a vast smorgasbord of the materials that mental health clinicians need to evaluate patients, write reports, and navigate the often confusing nuances of nomenclature. I value it especially because its reach extends far beyond the confines of DSM-IV to address the countless questions and procedures not covered by official diagnostic manuals. This reference is indispensable for any clinician whose work depends heavily on language--in other words, all of us. It richly deserves its honored place on my desk."--James Morrison, MD, Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, Oregon Health & Science University

"I find the Thesaurus particularly useful for constructing forensic reports, in that it enhances the precision of the language used. Precisely written reports are much less subject to litigious misinterpretation."--Edward B. Heyden, EdD, Psychology Master's Program, Carlos Albizu University, Miami, Florida

"The Clinician’s Thesaurus, 6th Edition, is a comprehensive reference for anyone working in the field of mental health: the student preparing for a clinical career, the seasoned professional fulfilling the myriad demands of the field, or the supervisor overseeing the performance of a broad range of professionals. Not only does the Thesaurus offer detailed guidelines for conducting mental health evaluations, it also offers practical advice on writing up and presenting evaluation findings. The flow of the chapters provides a convenient, comprehensive approach to interviewing, report writing, and their relationship to treatment. The book includes concise descriptions of all major mental health diagnoses and their behavioral nuances, and clearly illustrates the relationship among assessment, diagnosis, and intervention. This clear, user-friendly work is designed to help the clinician successfully tackle one of the most challenging aspects of clinical work, the skillful documentation of evaluation and treatment."--Ann A. Abbott, PhD, LCSW, Graduate Social Work Department, West Chester University

Had the second edition, lost it a few moves ago, decided to buy another. I forgot how useful this softcover book is. In this day of computer generated reports you still need to be able to write a report and this is a great guide to the correct vernacular and phraseology. It will be an ancillary for the a class I teach, although I don't see a need for newer edition than this until the DSM5 gets incorporated.

A must have for all in the mental health profession. Don't make it obvious to coworkers you got your Master degree online...catch up by using this fantastic guide to proper clinical documentation. Even experienced therapists can hone their MSE descriptors giving almost a visual image of the client. I loan every intern this book and they usually don't want to return it.

Dear Madam or Sir, Thank you so much! I should have bought this book ages ago! My reports were terrible; until I went back to school to improve my writing skills and incorporated this guidebook into my process of improving my reporting skills. The book arrived in better condition than advertised and before the estimated date of arrival. I will continue my patronage with you, I need mmore books in the psychiatric and neuroscientific fields of study, if they are in stock!

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical Reference
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2013

I bought this book to supplement my progress notes in accordance with joint commission regulations. I have to say this text is a big hit at the office. It gives practical behavioral descriptors for symptoms of mental illness. Now when I'm struggling to find the clinical term for any word (ex patient seemed whiny) I use this text (patient seemed to sulk). Great resource for the price.
