Herdman Assessment Form
Overview
Developed by John W. Herdman, Ph.D., LADC, ICADC
The HAF is a comprehensive bio-psycho-social semi-structured interview. Based upon the client's answers to interview questions, an editable and reader-friendly narrative is generated. This narrative saves counselor's time, by avoiding having to type or dictate client history. The counselor still must develop a diagnostic impression and determine the appropriate level of care. The HAF is not a diagnostic tool or test.
