Introduction & Theoretical Background
The Treatment Planning Checklist is a list of common therapeutic goals. Good CBT is dependent upon the therapist and client identifying an appropriate treatment goal (SMART goal). However, some clients find it difficult to identify appropriate therapeutic goals. The canonical reference for treatment goals is the Bern Inventory of Treatment Goals (Grosse & Grawe, 2002). This worksheet was submitted by Alan Taylor.
Therapist Guidance
This worksheet can be used as a talking-point during an assessment and goal-setting phase of therapy.
