Consensus on the key ingredients of person -centered treatment planning for individuals with severe mental illness
Abstract
Person-centered treatment planning has been promoted as a practice to facilitate recovery for people with severe mental illness; however, there has been little empirical work in the area or broad consensus as to what specifically defines this practice. In the current study, we used an iterative process to develop and refine a survey that was grounded in published literature and augmented by guidance and unpublished source material provided by the study’s advisory board, to capture the opinions of three stakeholders groups (consumer advocates, mental health service practitioner and trainers, and published experts) with regard to their view of which elements are critical to person-centered treatment planning. We surveyed 17 consumer advocates, 24 practitioners/trainers and 19 published experts. Findings showed a high level of agreement between stakeholders on most items, along with some between-group differences that highlighted the value of including multiple stakeholder perspectives. A final list of 44 critical ingredients for person-centered treatment planning is presented.
