Good workbook/reading for beginning clinicians As a therapist, I was somewhat disappointed with this workbook and have not used it very much in my practice. Some of the activities are unique and helpful, but most of them require too much preparation or are too advanced for the families I work with. Most of the instructions are very long, and some are confusing. I see clients every hour, so I want something I can pull off the shelf, become familiar with, and prepare in a short amount of time. Most of the handouts that are to be given to clients are printed in small print and hard to read and some use language that is not understandable to clients who have low reading levels. I think this book would be more helpful to new clinicians because it discusses the rationale behind each activity, and includes vignettes that show how the activities helped certain clients, suggestions for follow-up, contraindictions for use, and suggested readings. | ||
