Great tool for new or even seasoned therapists!

** Helpful addition to your therapeutic tool kit **
Packed with over 90 ready-to-use (and also customizable) assignments, this homework planner is definitely a great therapy resource—for clinicians and clients alike. It’s divided into 43 sections, which address the most common issues you’re likely to encounter in therapy—from anxiety, depression, and eating disorders to substance use, PTSD, and anger control to phase-of-life, relationship and vocational problems.
The assignments are clearly written, and straight-forward, and can be used with adult therapy clients of varying levels of education, therapy savvy-ness, and motivation. For beginning clients, the assignments can help make therapy more concrete and targeted, and for more experienced clients, the assignments can provide further grist for the mill to continue to explore deeper issues.
With this edition, the homework assignments are provided on a CD-ROM, which can be accessed and customized via Microsoft Word. A downside of the CD is that the assignments are listed using their section number in the book (e.g.: “ex_13_02”) and not by their actual title (e.g.: “How Fears Control My Eating”). Hopefully future editions of this book will also offer the option of online access to these assignments as well.
A valuable asset to the therapist’s arsenal of resources, _The Adult Psychotherapy Homework Planner_ is certainly worth its shelf space.
