Abstract
As previously discussed, emergent practitioners need to be self-aware, aware of and informed about the multiple contexts for practice, and engaged in a process of inquiry in practice. This section addresses the next piece of the EPP framework for planning. We present a framework that includes elements of a planned-change model used to formulate case plans. Each element is described and defined, and its application is discussed in some detail. Case planning systems, that is, the more explicit rules and procedures that define case management planning and practice within settings, agencies, and organizations, are also discussed.
Key themes: Planning as process; Alert, assess, andformulate case plans; Organization case planning systems.
Reflections: As a family counselor I just want to work with myfamilies. Why can’t I just be with these families? Why can’t I just sit with them and relate to them and what they need? Why must I go through an elaborate and time-consuming process ofplanning and documentation? No one reads the reports anyway. No one ever checks back at the initial assessment. Why write it down? All this time could be better spent with myfamilies. I bet I spend halfmy time with reports and documentation. This is a waste oftime!
