5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent activities, not only for use by the therapist, August 26, 2002

By	K. Kircher (United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent workbook, December 21, 1999

By A Customer

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.
