Maryland works closely with national experts and bases its PCCP training on the empirically supported practices. The PCCP model is outlined by the authors in the book Treatment Planning for Person-Centered Care: Shared Decision Making for Whole Health, Second Edition by Neal Adams, and Diane M. Grieder (2013). Find it at Amazon or ScienceDirect.
