My IOP clients loved the activities in this. I had to supplement several (IOP is 3 hours daily), but if you’re pressed for group ideas, get this book. The spiral makes it easy to make copies of the write-in sheets for your clients.
Everyone who works in a psychiatric setting should have this in their library!!
As a trainee therapist, I’ve found some of the activities in this book very helpful for the group I’m running. I’d recommend it!
Havent taken it work work yet though
Was told about this book from my supervisor and it is full of wonderful activities and ideas for groups of various ages. Activities can be adapted depending on modality and age and topic of the group. Highly recommend. Will be referring to this often, no doubt.
