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, as well as experienced and seasoned pros who want to overhaul their paperwork and risk-reduction procedures. This resource kit provides you with:

  • methods for documenting informed consent, treatment planning, and progress
  • advice on fee structures, competitive pricing, managed care, and billing
  • tips on joining managed care panels and communicating with MCO reviewers
  • forms and guidelines to facilitate HIPAA compliance
  • links to useful websites
  • and much more in both the book and CD-ROM

HIPAA compliant and updated to include the most recent changes in the American Psychological Association's Ethics Code, this 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. New or expanded coverage is provided of such topics as:

  • managed care
  • clinical supervision
  • ethical marketing practices
  • malpractice insurance
  • online resources

Edward L. Zuckerman, PhD, has worked with adults with developmental disabilities as well as those with severe alcohol addiction, acted as liaison with state hospitals, taught undergraduates, and been in the independent practice of general clinical psychology for many years. He now lives with his family in rural western Pennsylvania with horses, ducks, geese, chickens, and lots of mud and trees. There he consults and creates worthwhile practice tools for clinicians.

"Dr. Zuckerman has created a wonderful resource for mental health practitioners. I have sung the praises of The Paper Office for years in trainings I have conducted on ethical and legal issues in clinical practice. The third edition builds on the strengths of the second edition with practical, user-friendly information and forms related to ethical, legal, and clinical issues, and expands the contents to include timely information on managed care, HIPAA, malpractice issues, and more. This book will be very helpful to practitioners from all of the mental health disciplines, regardless of their experience level." - Eric M. Johnson, PhD, ABPP, Oregon Forensic Institute

"...an essential resource for every practicing clinician. This book is the premiere guide for professional record-keeping. Adopting the suggested record-keeping strategies outlined in the text will help to ensure maximum profitability, increase clinical efficiency, and minimize risk for professional liability. This is not merely a how-to-book on clinical documentation; rather, through the process of clinical documentation Zuckerman has eloquently shared his wisdom on what makes therapy effective....The Paper Office is an essential resource for any therapist's office." - The Master's Advocate

"The Paper Office is a comprehensive, hands-on resource for both the novice and seasoned clinician. The fourth edition incorporates changes in clinical practice, changes in relevant case law and statutes, and updated references to the literature. Zuckerman assists the clinician in developing and maintaining a state-of-the-art clinical practice, including record-keeping procedures that cover everything from each step of the treatment process through the closing of your practice at retirement. I have relied on The Paper Office for years, and will use the ideas in this newest edition to update my current practice! I recommend that clinicians from all areas of mental health embrace the ideas and consider using the forms contained in this highly useful book."--Jonathan W. Gould, PhD, ABPP, private practice, Charlotte, North Carolina

"How many times have you grumbled, while completing clinical, financial, and HIPAA records, 'There must be a better way!'? The Paper Office is that better way--the book and companion CD offer a treasure trove of clinical documents, financial tools, security procedures, consent forms, and record releases. This indispensable fourth edition is guaranteed to reduce your paperwork blues and make you a more savvy clinician!"--John C. Norcross, PhD, ABPP, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of Scranton
