 WONDERUL and CREATIVE! April 13, 2000
238 out of 240 found this review helpful
Another therapist recommended this book to me for it's creativity...and I love it! It has numerous activities to do with clients. It is in sections based upon a skill, like identifying and expressing feelings, self esteem, coping and social skills. With each section it has wonderful games such as TIC-TAC-TOE FEELINGS, and COMFORT KIT, as well as variations of games we already play-like basketball or other commonly used board games, and most of the games supplies are in the book or can be easily found in your office (or bought for pretty cheap). It also has a little graduation section and a bibliography. I love this book for so many reasons, but it really helped with ideas for kids who are not into traditional therapy.

I am a social worker who often works with oppositional and resistant children. This book offers several fresh ideas on interacting and engaging children so that they will begin to talk about their feelings. I have been very impressed with the several activities and have found that they can be applied to children of various ages with very little work. I think this book is a must for anyone who works with children.

The activities in this book are well organized and simple. Most do require some type of preparation and some materials. Some of the activities use games; others use art therapy, etc. This is an invaluable resource for me in therapy session with children and adolescents. The kids have always been interested in the interventions I have used from this book. This is therapy without the child KNOWING it's therapy.
Highly recommended.

I bought this book when I was fresh out of graduate school and starting my first job under supervision. This book has great ideas that are easy, very therapeutic for the children I work with, and also inspiring for coming up with my own creative techniques.

I purchased this book because I am a therapist who works with children and families in crisis. This book has a lot of good stuff in it but buyer beware that a lot of the activities in this book require that you have certain board games etc.
