Practitioner Tools: 2006 Clinical Hours Logbooks
Are you still getting by with paper records of client hours? Make 2006 easier with a simple spreadsheet. Our free PC- and Mac-compatible clinical hours logbooks, used by clinicians to record contact hours with clients and time spent in supervision, have been updated for 2006. New versions are available for calendar year 2006, fiscal year 2006-07, and academic year 2006-07.
In the return-to-chaos otherwise known as the first week of January 2006, I inadvertently forgot to mention that our free clinical logbook software has been updated. (No, it hasn’t really been that chaotic, but it sounds like a good excuse anyway, doesn’t it?)
We’ve been providing these logbooks since the academic year starting in 2002, and they’ve been downloaded regularly by practitioners around the globe. (The instructions for using the logbooks are starting to look a bit dated, having been written several years ago now, but we think you’ll still get the hang of it!)
If you’re an online practitioner and want to modify the spreadsheet to record your word counts (see “How Much Online Therapy Really Goes On? Part 2”), the process couldn’t be simpler: just use search & replace within the formula contents to replace all occurences of ‘COUNT’ with ‘SUM’. The ‘COUNT’ function is used to total up calendar days, while the ‘SUM’ function is used to total up numerical values. Change day counting to numerical value counting, and voila — you have a spreadsheet that totals up word counts instead of office visits on specific dates.
I hope the logbook can make your life as a student or practitioner in private practice just that little bit easier!
