Great Resource

Practical ideas to utilize in therapy make working with children and adolescents so much easier for therapists who are uncertain how to work effectively with young people. This book helps therapists understand children's needs within a variety of family circumstances and to work effectively with parents to facilitate their parenting skills. Chock full of useful ideas; a wonderful resource! Nancy Nickell

Great, user-friendly treatment planner with lots of different activities for both children/adolescents and their families. Great explanations for each topic.

VERY HELPFUL

Therapist's notebook for children and adolescents

This great book is for the therapist working with children and adolescents, where the therapist can use the material as homework, handouts and activities in therapy. The editors, Catherine Ford Sori, professor of psychology and counseling at Governors State University, Illinois and Lorna L Hecker, professor of marriage and family therapy at Purdue University in Indiana, have together with 36 professionals compiled a very important tool for the therapist. It is divided into eight sections: children?s feelings, play in therapy, specific childhood problems, illenes, trauma and bereavement, adolescents, interventions, family and parent education with a total of 46 chapters. This is a very resourceful book with plenty of ideas, plans and suggestions for use in the encounter with children, adolescents and their families......
