This CD demystifies and simplifies this all-too-often delayed practice necessity.

This enhanced CD provides therapists an audio recording about the professional will with easy-to-follow worksheets that simplify the process. The CD is like having a coach who helps you set realistic goals using timelines and documents that make it easier to take your professional will from your To-Do-List to your first draft.

What is an Enhanced CD?
An Enhanced CD is an audio disc that may be played on any CD player, and includes data that may be viewed on a personal computer. This CD includes an audio recording of Dr. Steiner's Grand Rounds presentation for the Department of Psychiatry, Alta Bates Hospital, Berkeley, CA.

Interactive Documents:  Along with the helpful and enlightening audio presentation, this Enhanced CD includes the documentation needed to customize an absence plan for your practice.  A clear, informative guide walks you through the process of putting your plan in place.  This guide helps you decide how your clients and treatment plans should be handled in the event of a temporary or prolonged absence.  The forms may be filled in on-line or printed and filled in by hand.  Included are sample letters to clients.

• In today's ever-changing world it is difficult to keep abreast of new requirements and solutions to the challenges that arise for practicing therapists. This also applies to the Therapist's Professional Will. Since I first began working in this area there have been numerous changes I have wanted to let people know about. Now I have a forum to do precisely that on the Getting Started, Tips, and Updates page. New suggestions for protecting client's privacy, addressing changing law and ethics requirements will be included in this page. So check back periodically to learn new tips and suggestions that will help you start and make your Professional Will more current!
