Graduate psychology programs offer a wealth of information on honing one's therapeutic skills, but often provide little information on the 'how to's' of practice: creating a successful business plan; tailoring your practice to suit your needs, talents, and values; marketing your services; finding an office that works for you and your clients; developing forms, policies, and procedures; finding the right attorney and professional liability insurance; responding to licensing, malpractice, or ethics complaints; using computers safely, efficiently, and effectively; and; taking care of yourself so you can provide the best possible service to your clients. All of these topics are covered in this book. Both psychologists just starting out and seasoned practitioners who want to expand, restructure, or enrich their practices will appreciate the authors' wit and wisdom. In addition to the 15 chapters, the book contains 15 appendices that make key APA professional standards and guidelines and other resources available for consultation in one handy source.

This book discusses all of the ins and outs of developing your own practice. Few books tackle all of the practical issues and this book did a wonderful and thorough job. Why make these mistakes when you can learn from others? Great read!!! Rating - Best book in this area by far This is a WONDERFUL book! I've been in full-time independent practice for many years but found this book a treasure -- everything from developing a creative business plan and finding an office (and attorney, and professional liability policy) to finding clients and referral sources to all the nuts and bolts of planning, setting up, maintaining, and growing a practice. Great strategies for avoiding problems (e.g., malpractice or ethics complaints; ... Read More Rating - Underwhelmed I bought this book as a reference for a seminar and was very underimpressed.

Don't get me wrong, these guidelines are important to good practice, they are simply not what I was looking for in a book about thriving as a therapist. The text of the book, it turns out, is about 112 pages of mildly to moderately useful ... Read More Rating - Good, but too many questions, not enough suggestions!
