Great book
My daughter-in-law requested this book for Christmas
As a new therapist, this has been very helpful and has lead to many good discussions when I needed a little more direction. I enjoy these worksheets. They are easy to understand and I especially like the educational handouts and descriptions. Definitely recommend! Very relevant info.
It gives a lot of informative information that helps you understand how to work with people/children with these disorders.
This is by far the most comprehensive work book to use when all else fails! When you have no idea what to do and need some highly useful activities for children and youth this is going be your go to book! Dr. Pratt is a gifted clinician with decades of experience and his passion and wisdom for helping children and youth are reflected in this very useful tool!
