PDF for Psychologists: Therapy Files, Assessment Reports, and Referral Letters

1 min read·15 March 2030

Psychologists and therapists work with intake summaries, psychological assessment reports, treatment plans, and referral letters. A clear PDF file per client is essential for careful treatment and GDPR compliance.

Compiling a therapy file per client

A complete therapy file contains the intake form, diagnostic classification, treatment plan, session notes, and correspondence with referrers. PDFrust merges all those separate documents into one chronologically ordered PDF file per client.

Merging psychological assessment reports

Neuropsychological or personality assessments produce multiple partial reports: score overviews, interpretations, and charts as separate PDF exports from the test system. Merge them into one coherent assessment report for the client or referrer.

Compressing referral letters and reports

Detailed psychological reports with charts can reach 10–20 MB. Compress them with PDFrust before sending via the secure exchange portal or as an attachment in a letter to the GP.

Archiving the treatment plan per phase

A treatment passes through multiple phases: acute phase, stable phase, and aftercare. Archiving a PDF per phase preserves the treatment history. This is important for continuity during a change of therapist or long-term treatment relationships.

GDPR and professional secrecy
