Robert Gottlieb Said: A Great Asset ( Sep. 3rd 2010 )

As a beginning therapist I found this book to be invaluable as an addition to my ever expanding library. This book provides practical intervention techniques with adequate information to easily implement them in the therapy process. I especially appreciated that the techniques were sorted by topic and specified the age range appropriate for use.

Heather W. Sanford Said: Outstanding resource ( Aug. 27th 2010 )

This is a wonderful book, full of creative ideas from experienced practioners. I especially like the fact that there is "something for everyone"-- a variety different approaches to appeal to the different "style" or comfort level of the therapist. It also covers a wide variety of ages and modalities. I highly recommend this book, as well as any other books by Liana Lowenstein.

Children's Counselor Said: Full of great activities ( Aug. 4th 2010 )

I love this book (and Volume 2)...there are so many great ideas and activities to choose from. I have used so many ideas from this book in individual, group and family settings. As a fairly new counselor, this book has been a valuable resource and although I haven't had it long, the pages are worn from me going through to find a great activity to use almost every day. I've even been able to take their original ideas and adapt them to my client's needs without having too much trouble. This is a must have for anyone working with children, especially if you're new to the counseling arena.

Marcie Yeager Said: Highly practical and easy to use ( May. 25th 2010 )

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!
