Helpful Tool

If you like having concrete tools this is a great book and its pretty easy to put the tools into practice and adapt it to how you best work. I found it helpful with the children and teens that I work with. Some of the activities are useful for adults as well. A useful buy and a must have on the shelf!

Therapist Helper

I am very happy with this book. I recently ran a adolescent girls therapy group and used a different relaxation exercise from the book at the start of each session, which the girls absolutely loved. Although, I did add my own twist on most of the exercises so they would fit more with my personal style. I have used a few of the games that require limited materials and have found them to be useful, especially with young children who have difficulty expressing themselves in therapy.
