This book is great! I’ve ordered two of Judith Belmont’s books so far and have been impressed with both. Lot’s of activities and printouts that I have found useful in my work with adults on an inpatient psychiatric ward. Love the CBT based units. Most of the activities are suitable for a broad age range.

Fantastic resource for any therapist. The spiral-bound set-up is ideal for easily making copies to use for handouts. The resources are fantastic; the ideas very creative. I love that these exercises can be used for teens, adults and adolescents. I used three of the activities with a brand-new teen group this weekend and as a result, witnessed six kids with social phobia let their guards down and commit to the therapy experience. This is the first book I have bought of hers; it will definitely not be the last. Thanks, Judy! Keep up the great work.

The activities in the book have worked very well for my support group, which is focused on trauma recovery. My group members have especially enjoyed some of the positive focus activities. I do not work with addiction recovery groups, but think they would work well there also. These ideas have sped up my group planning.

I was struggling to find new topics and group ideas every week, but this book is a tremendous help. I’ve had it for a day and it has already paid for itself. Some reviews accuse the activities of being “too simplistic”. And honestly, some of them are. But they can also be modified to fit your needs. Bottom line: The book is a tool. It will not do your job for you!

I run a peer support group as a volunteer and this book has been invaluable and worth every penny. Some of the exercises are short and can be combined to make one group session. But I love this book a Its helped a lot with planning.

As a new therapist, this was a great tool for finding new ideas for group therapy. I was able to modify certain things to specific groups like trauma or addiction. I debated the purchase for awhile, but I’m really glad I bought it!

I am an OTA graduate and hope to use this book during group therapy session. I haven’t used it yet, but I love the activities that are shared in this book! I am giving it a preliminary score of 4/5. I just wish it had all of Cole’s steps and a little more detail.

I think this is a great go-to for therapists who run groups, particularly with teens. Has some great ideas for activities and topics that you can pull from as needed or use as a prepared activity. Covers a ton of different topics and uses different modalities.

This book created great reference material, providing a clear and concise review of important key points and the activities seem to perform well for the groups that we’re into. This book comes highly recommended for anyone looking for idea in group activities, and who wants good tips in Group Therapy. Great review for those who have degrees, and even great reference for those who don’t!

Was told about this book from my supervisor and it is full of wonderful activities and ideas for groups of various ages. Activities can be adapted depending on modality and age and topic of the group. Highly recommend. Will be referring to this often, no doubt.

Everyone who works in a psychiatric setting should have this in their library!!

My IOP clients loved the activities in this. I had to supplement several (IOP is 3 hours daily), but if you’re pressed for group ideas, get this book. The spiral makes it easy to make copies of the write-in sheets for your clients.
