Great resource!
I have thoroughly enjoyed many of the techniques suggested in this book. Many of them are very simple and minimal additional resources are needed. Great addition!
|
Easy interventions
Awesome book! I've used several of the interventions and they're user friendly and kid responsive.

Excellent! Highly reccomended
This is a resource you will go back to again and again. Lots of helpful techniques, ways to adapt common chidhood games...well worth the money if you counsel elementary school kids. Content probably too young for kids over 13.

Immediately put to use! ( etherealtwilight )
This is a book that a therapist can put to use immediately. It is extemely well-organized:
-chapters divided by topics
-a chart indicating activities for each stage of therapy, modality and age
-clear directions included with each activity
Many of the pages are reproducible, and most of the activities require materials that are easy to find. Best of all, the activities are clearly therapeutic!
My only complaint (and it's minor so I'm not removing any stars) is that several activities involve candy. Since I work with elementary students in a district that has implemented the federal nutrition guidelines, I cannot give students candy nor can I give any food as a reward. Some of those activities can be "tweaked" so that I give stickers instead. However, that's a very minor point, and overall, the book is a fabulous resource!
Don't miss Paper Dolls and Paper Airplanes, a similar book co-authored by Lowenstein, that contains extensive activities for pre-schoolers, elementary children and teens who have been sexually abused.

A Wonderful Resource ( counselor4kids )
This book is perfect for anyone working with at-risk children and adolescents. As a child therapist, I found that the activities helped to engage even children who are highly reluctant to engage in therapy. There are a wide variety of activities in the book that range in age from preschool to teenager and address just about every treatment issue you could think of. Most important, the activities are fun for the kids while also being therapeutic. I would highly recommend this book-- it's worth every penny.
