Assessment and Treatment Activities for Children, Adolescents, and Families: Practitioners Share Their Most Effective Techniques

Highly practical and easy to use
Attention therapists: This volume offers 70+ engaging techniques to use in every stage of therapy, from the first session to the last. Sections include: Engagement and Assessment, Feelings Expression, Social Skills, Coping and Problem-Solving, Self-Esteem, and Termination. Each technique clearly spells out recommended age range, goals, materials needed, advance preparation and a "how-to" description. The materials needed are either included or simple objects that most therapists will already have on their shelves. A discussion by the contributing therapist concludes each technique and offers valuable insight and suggestions. With so many talented contributors, this book is like a networking session that is always available!
