be extremely useful to you.
A. Clinician Retrospective and
Prospective Manuals and Forms:
"Formal life charting is an effective and
valuable tool for the longitudinal retrospective and prospective assessment
of affective disorders. The process of retrospective life charting can
progress in several stages, at the onset providing clinician and patient
with a first visual overview of a patient's prior course of illness while
also potentially signaling the beginning of a joint endeavor to construct a
very detailed retrospective life chart incorporating data collected from
many different sources.
"A
brief "rough" life chart represents a useful entity in itself and can
uncover several important aspects of a patient's course of illness. Since
the life chart essentially incorporates all aspects of the patient's
previous psychiatric history, it should from the very beginning form an
integral part of the current assessment."
