Review:
” This inspiring book consists of 100 illustrated worksheets for therapists to use with clients… There were a number of exercises in this book that I could envisage using with clients in sessions or as homework exercises. The book also helped me identify areas that I might explore with clients, without necessarily using the worksheets themselves. I found this a refreshing, inspirational resource that I would recommend to both individual and couples’ therapists.” – Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal.
