title: Treatment plans for mental health care.
abstract: The authors present a method for the development of standard process criteria for the care of defined subpopulations of psychiatric patients using a two-dimensional problem category system to describe patients. Patient subpopulations, described by both a traditional psychopathological problem cluster and a less traditional psychosocial problem cluster, are matched to a list of problem-solving services to develop a model treatment plan. The authors present this method for developing standard treatment plans as an alternative to APA's Model Criteria Sets.
