Book SynopsisClinical Problem Solving: Case Management integrates innovative problem solving techniques with a case management approach to therapy. Guerra introduces the LIBRE Model (Listen-Identify-Brainstorm-Reality-test-Encourage) and LIBRE Model Stick Figure Tool as integral social cognitive behavioral methods that establish a client-clinician partnership in which the client can learn to identify and develop goals toward self-regulated, sustainable mental health. Guerra provides practitioners with a clear and engaging framework for successfully implementing the LIBRE Model, outlining how clinicians can prepare for their role, calibrate their personal engagement with each client, collect client data, and ultimately demonstrate client growth and development.
Trade ReviewService providers will find the clinical problem solving case management approach practical and user-friendly. The Listen-Identify-Brainstorm-Reality-test-Encourage (LIBRE) Model provides a mutually rewarding experience for the client and the clinician.

Dr. Norma Guerra, in her private and professional life, has always been about care, compassion, sharing, and helping. This book reflects that as well as provides a needed perspective from a cultural background whose voice is needed now more than ever. I foresee Clinical Problem Solving becoming a voice from and for that cultural perspective, as well as for the wider audience for which it was created. -- Eradio Valverde, Jr., United Methodist Church
