too many arts and crafts ( ajbaker_books )
As a mental health therapist, I found this book to be very hands on and not as appropriate for a therapuetic setting.

Counselor must have!!!! ( wakingupkk )
I absolutely love this book. I have this one and the sequel as well. both are chopped full of activities. I use it wiht junior high and high school level. Some of the stuff I have had to adapt to my setting and it is easy to do. As some others have said, some activities require certain games. One game I actually found (well, an off brand) at a dollar store. I have only my own money to spend on my practice as I work for a non-profit but I have been able to do pretty much everything in the book at some time or another. The kids really respond well to the activities. There are also some great reproducible pages.

Excellent
I fellow collegue had purchased this book a while ago and after reviewing the contents I knew that the book would be a great resource!

What could have been
The interventions are creative. I did not like that the interventions called for specific 'toys'. I don't think the game 'hot pototato' is made anymore
