This book has helped a lot when I get stuck on activities that are fun yet educational for my students to help promote their goal success during sessions. Love this book!
Good and important book content.
I am a clinical social worker. I have worked at an in-patient psychiatric hospital and in a partial hospitalization clinic facilitating group therapy program for kids, pre-teens, teens, and adults. Currently, I have been transitioning to an outpatient therapist and was looking for additional resources. I have used similar exercises to several of the ones in this book that I know have worked well in group therapy settings. I was very pleased to see some of my old favorites along with so many new and creatively-thought exercises that I am eager to try with my individual clients! I really loved the organizational structure of in-session exercises, homework for the client, as well as exercises for the caregiver. The exercises are also grouped in content areas of Cognitive Skills, Relationship Coaching, Competency Building, and Brain Based Learning and organized into areas for several different diagnoses, which works as a helpful guide when needing to use the exercises to prepare for session and/or for quick reference in session. I love the inclusion of the caregiver exercises as I think it is very important to involve the parent and these exercises are a wonderful way to incorporate caregiver involvement in a positive way. I am particularly happy to have such an easy to use quick reference to augment material for sessions! Thank you to the authors for such a well designed resource! Now, I just need to find one designed for adults!
Great activities
This workbook is very easy to follow and seems to get right to the heart of the issues.
I am very pleased
