Buyer beware If you do not have therascribe do not buy this. The CD Rom that is.I feel like this was a rip off.
Excellent resource! I'm a new counselor working in addictions, and this is an excellent homework planner. It comes with worksheets that you can print out, and I've found this to be a wonderful resource for counseling sessions. Clients can take it home & review it and then bring it back to be discussed. I use this nearly every day, and I love it!
Excellent book I've been a counselor in the addiction field for 9 years. I bought this book to help me come up with ideas for group therapy. I prefer to do individual therapy over group therapy, so I like to be really prepared in group situations. However, I am often thrown into doing a group at the last minute at my current job. This book has been incredible in helping me to help my clients with exercises that can really have an impact on their preparedness for living a sober life. I have used some exercises already and plan to use several more. I found the most thorough recovery plan in this book that I have ever come across anywhere. The included disc is great for printing out the forms in a neat and easy way. A variety of subjects are covered that can extend to anyone in counseling, not just addicts, and suggestions are made for the therapist on how to use each exercise in their practice. Anyone in the addiction field or any counseling field could benefit from owning this book. It is simply incredible.
Another winner!! This is another winner to add to my bookshelf at work; my patients benefit greatly, as do I, from the many creative assignments to work through. Great to use for group work also!!
A Life Saver This has saved me many times when I sudddenly find out I have to run a group minutes before it starts. It also has been a great supplement for indivdual needs that go beyond our curriculum.
