In the early 1990s, James Kennedy pioneered a systematic approach to treatment planning that since has been widely adopted. This is a hands-on guide to the powerful instrument that is at the heart of Kennedy's approach. This is a practical workbook developed to help clinicians gain essential knowledge and skills in using the K Axis. A training tool, the guide walks the reader step-by-step through the concepts and uses of the seven subscales: psychological impairment, social skills, violence, ADL-occupational skills, substance abuse, medical impairment, and ancillary impairment. Through a wide variety of clinical vignettes, readers gain practical experience in using the K Axis to rate information and create comprehensive clinical profiles.
