ShrinkRapt: a database manager for the Macintosh

Abstract

The bad news about ShrinkRapt is that its clinical potential remains, mostly, potential. The good news is that ShrinkRapt works. It concentrates on the fundamentals, stimulates thinking, and appears to be backed up by a creative and dedicated company. It is versatile enough to fit many practice styles and volumes of record keeping. A solo practitioner with a part-time psychotherapy practice and a Macintosh in the office can enter data at the end of the day or the end of a session, typing up patients' progress notes while they are still fresh in memory and keeping abreast of session data and documentation requirements. At the end of the month, a few keystrokes generate bills and claims forms.
