Editorial Reviews

From the Author

In my exploration of various theories and therapies as a clinician since 1973, I have been treated to an array of approaches--Gestalt, Rogerian, Transactional Analysis, NLP, hypnosis, Reevaluation Counseling, EMDR, cognitive therapy, behavior therapy, object relations theories, Jungian theories, various family therapies, energy therapies, and psychopharmacology. Although I have been eclectic in my treatment approach, I have consistently offered clients psychoeducational literature. I now pass these "therapy gifts" on to you so you can give your clients the gems of wisdom from so many theoretical orientations.

More About the Author

Kate Cohen-Posey's call to counseling began with listening to her mother grieve the death of a dashing fiancee. Her official MS degree was awarded in 1973 and she soon began to practice in Florida. Driven by a desire to provide clients concise information she started writing booklets. By a near miracle John Wiley & Sons discovered these thera-tracts, called her, and said, "We think you're the author we need." This proposal birthed 4 books: "Brief Therapy Client Handouts," "More Brief Therapy Client Handouts," "Empowering Dialogues Within," and "Making Hostile Words Harmless." Booklist, citing her book, "How to Handle Bullies, Teasers, and Other Meanies," agrees she is an author of necessity.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book, March 18, 2000
By 
This review is from: Brief Therapy Client Handouts (Paperback)
In my many years of practice I've never seen anything to compare with this book. It contains extremely well-researched information in a form which clients will find easy to read and utilize as a part of therapy.

I was impressed with the visual aids, assessment questionnaires and progress charts to help clients understand their problems and set up programs for change.

The range of problems covered in this book is so comprehensive that I've been able to find at least one helpful handout for each of my clients. I find the disk format especially helpful. I'm able to quickly print exactly what I want, and I can personalize the handouts any way I like. I have found that my clients develop a better understanding of their problems and begin to work on change more quickly when I give them these handouts at the beginning of therapy. I think this is a wonderful resource for both therapist and client!

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish my therapist had this book!, March 10, 2000
By 
D. Neal (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Brief Therapy Client Handouts (Paperback)
I've always been dismayed that few therapists provide "homework" or food for thought in between sessions. The handouts in this book are terrific for helping clients help themselves. Written in simple, readable language, with easy-to-follow charts and exercizes, this is a book that no therapist should be without

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE MOST USEFUL AND USED BOOKS FOR CLIENT EDUCATION, September 26, 2004
By 
This review is from: Brief Therapy Client Handouts (Paperback)
In 30 years of psychotherapy practice,I have used handouts from this book more than any other source. Many clients like these handouts because they are short and give an overview of the topic.They are not in depth guides,however.This is one of the few books worth several times its cost.
