Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient treatment programs (PHP/IOP) often present particularly stressful environments in which clinicians are engaged with groups of diverse patients who are all at different points in treatment. This book provides clinicians new to PHP/IOP settings with a conceptual framework and practical skills for effective and efficient practice. Written for social workers, counselors, therapists, and psychiatric nurses, it helps clinicians to develop realistic expectations for treatment in a managed care environment with limited time and funding.
