This book was a life saver for me as I opened my solo practice this summer. Without it, I would have spent countless hours developing these forms myself. The feature that allows you to customize the forms is especially nice. I recommend this for new or veteran mental health workers.

The software does NOT work on an iMac. When used with Windows Vista, the forms are available to customize, however, they need streamlining and updating with regard to fonts, spacing, etc. The documents don’t look as if they have been updated aesthetically since the first edition of the book. Disappointing.

I was hoping that this book would have some quick & easy, down & dirty, managed care friendly forms to use, and that the enclosed disc would let me modify them for my practice. Not so. The "up to date" (please note the sarcasm!) forms entailed loads of writing – and were not anything that would help speed up the paperwork process. The disc? What a joke. If you just want to spend money, take yourself out to eat – don’t waste it on this book!
