STEPnotes™: The Counselor's Guide to Progress Notes Paperback – August 28, 2013

This is one of those books I wish I had during my graduate years. As counselors and therapists we are taught the importance of good note keeping - not just for the purpose of documenting our therapeutic goals and interventions, but also for legal and insurance reasons. Unfortunately, no one ever teaches us how to take notes (better yet, GOOD notes). This book does just that! STEPnotes offers a clear, concise and systematic approach to taking progress/counseling notes. While the case study may be a little different than the types of issues I often deal with in a typical counseling session (I specialize in adult career development and transition), it helped me conceptualize the process and adapt/apply it in a way that fit. This book is a must have for every practitioner or counselor-in-training.

I am very happy with this product and have no complaints! Thanks! Great book

Great documentation book for examples

As a psychotherapist, counseling supervisor, and professor this book has been invaluable to simply get the work done. I have not met anyone in the field of mental health who actually enjoys doing notes and charts, but in this book Dr. Sutton helps to get it done practically and simply. It is a must-have for new (and experienced!) professionals. I highly recommend the book!

This book was very helpful for note design.

A straightforward, simple, and yet inclusive system for taking session notes. I've recommended it to all my interns. There are so many systems and formats out there for taking notes. I really like this one.

Very good book use it often to enhance my notes

Good reference
