Principles of Treatment Planning

Problems in the accurate assessment of elderly patients are discussed in relation to the variability of this population group and the value that they place on the therapeutic relationship. Some principles of treatment planning based on systems theory, which is integral to the model of human occupation, are summarised. Assessment, treatment planning and the selection of a theory to guide behaviour change are then demonstrated through the case of an elderly male patient who has become dysfunctional following a coronary attack. Finally, a summary of the advantages of using the model of human occupation is presented.

The Individual

Chapter 16 discusses differential therapeutics, which is the application of principles derived from research and clinical experience in matching the individual patient to the most efficacious treatment under circumstances specific to that individual (as opposed to randomization or planning from group means in treatment studies that ignore the individual). Differential therapeutics is discussed at the macro level (i.e., five areas of treatment planning) and on the micro level (i.e., the adjustment of therapeutic strategies and techniques within the treatment process itself). Finally, these principles of treatment planning are applied to a representative Axis I diagnosis (major depression) and an Axis II syndrome (borderline personality disorder) in order to illustrate how they can be used with specific patient difficulties.
