This series gives great assignments, which are especially useful in assigning for homework. The categories of activities are helpful in determining what activites will be appropriate with goals the client is working on. I appreciate that there are mutliple activites for each target area. This allows me to work through a spectrum of approaches to the same issue. The kids seem able to relate to the stories in the exercises. I have found the activities helpful in beginning to get them to approach difficult subjects, without feeling like they are in the 'hot seat'.

I use Ann's book to guide my classes in an adult psychiatric setting. Some adaptation is needed but developmentally, these adults need this information that they did not get as adolescents. It's very helpful.

I purchased this book to use with a group of at-risk-teenage girls. The worksheets are easy to administer and the answers generated by the girls have led to very good discussions about everyday issues and appropriate behavior that should be displayed in a wide range of situations. This has been one of the best books I have purchased that works well in a small group setting. I have used the activities at both age levels and find them to be relevant to the age level recommended.
