Ordered as a gift for my sister. She loves it. Can’t wait to try it myself
Short and to the point- I use this reference for group ideas for acute inpatient psych groups. I’m a board certified art therapist and this has been a great resource for introducing new groups to my group list.
My daughter is a school psychologist, and I bought this for her. She really likes many of the ideas.
