Great handouts for clients!

As a therapist, I have used this workbook with both adolescent and adult clients, and have found it helpful for both populations. The book includes some very useful handouts that can be used during session or for homework in between sessions. Most of the handouts are for the client, and there are few for parents of the adolescent client. Most of them can be used with adults, and some can be used with younger children who have higher reading levels. I love how the book came with a CD-rom that allows you to open and print each handout; it allows you to delete and add things to the handout. I would recommend this to any therapist that likes to incorporate handouts and activities into their work with clients.

homework

This book is spectacular in regards to assisting the consumer in understanding their issues and promotes inclusivness between therapist and consumer

Adolescent Homework Planner

This has really helped me in my practice with Teens..some of the homework touches on things and feelings they do not want to talk about in session. It helps to open up the dialog between us.

adolescent psychotherapy homework planner II

Correction of "a reader from Orlando"

The review by Orlando presents faulty information. The Brief Adolescent Therapy Homework Planner does indeed contain homework assignments on topics focused for teenagers. Contrary to what was written by Orlando, the book contains assignments on such topics as Conduct Disorder, Chemical Dependence, Eating Disorder, Peer/Sibling Conflict, Runaway, Sexual Abuse Perpetrator, Sexual Abuse Victim, and Mania/Hypomania as well as common problems such as Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Low Self-Esteem and Oppositional Defiant. The book does NOT contain exercises for Enuresis/Encopresis. I expect that Orlando was looking at the Brief Child Therapy Homework Planner when the review was written.
