CBT Toolbox for Children and Adolescents: Over 200 Worksheets & Exercises for Trauma, ADHD, Autism, Anxiety, Depression & Conduct Disorders Spiral-bound – September 26, 2017

It's a great investment for a psychologist dealing with children and adolescents.

I am a clinical social worker. I have worked at an in-patient psychiatric hospital and in a partial hospitalization clinic facilitating group therapy program for kids, pre-teens, teens, and adults. Currently, I have been transitioning to an outpatient therapist and was looking for additional resources. I have used similar exercises to several of the ones in this book that I know have worked well in group therapy settings. I was very pleased to see some of my old favorites along with so many new and creatively-thought exercises that I am eager to try with my individual clients! I really loved the organizational structure of in-session exercises, homework for the client, as well as exercises for the caregiver. The exercises are also grouped in content areas of Cognitive Skills, Relationship Coaching, Competency Building, and Brain Based Learning and organized into areas for several different diagnoses, which works as a helpful guide when needing to use the exercises to prepare for session and/or for quick reference in session. I love the inclusion of the caregiver exercises as I think it is very important to involve the parent and these exercises are a wonderful way to incorporate caregiver involvement in a positive way. I am particularly happy to have such an easy to use quick reference to augment material for sessions! Thank you to the authors for such a well designed resource! Now, I just need to find one designed for adults!

This is an extremely helpful tool, especially for those who have minimal experience working with children. I recommend this book to everyone in the field!

If you are a systemic therapist. These books are helpful for incorporating the CBT approach, which essential to learn.

I absolutely love these worksheets and exercises. I pick and choose which ones to do depending on the situations. I'll do the exercises verbally or on paper. I like that it helps the students think beyond and analyze their situations. Sometimes when I do the exercises verbally I'll stop after certain questions to open up a group discussion.

fine

Even though this book has the exercises in it, I used it as a reference and for a better understanding of my autistic child.

I’m a school aged daycare teacher and my students have a lot of BIG emotions. The school I work for has given me some formal lessons that the kids don’t seem to care about so I did some research. A lot of these things have very similar and free VERSIONS online because they are common tools, but I wanted something that was easy to slap on the copy machine cause I don’t have time to dig. It’s very well set up and my only students who need help understanding the assignment are the ones who cant read and write yet. I love the binding style for what I need it for and I love how easy it is to navigate!
