Product Description

"These eminently worthwhile handouts are not only based on some of the finest scholarship available today, they're also unusually accessible to the lay person. This is a resource I expect to draw upon again and again with my clients."
-Leon F. Seltzer, PhD author of Paradoxical Strategies in Psychotherapy
Many therapists provide psycho-educational information and recommend helpful literature to their clients as a means of promoting growth and change in between sessions. This unique sourcebook provides a comprehensive collection of over 100 concise, informative handouts for distribution to your current or prospective clients.
Organized around the topics of relationship dynamics and specific disorders, these sensitively written handouts offer clients valuable information about common psychological problems, as well as practical, therapeutically sound advice on strategies for changing behaviors or interactional patterns. The user-friendly design allows you to easily photocopy the handouts you are most likely to use or customize them to your needs using the included disk-saving you precious time in the office and maximizing the full potential of the material.
This remarkable resource features:
* Preliminary assessment tools to help clients partner with therapists in targeting problem areas and identifying pertinent diagnoses
* Review sheets for behavior strategies that change problems and help therapists design treatment programs
* Discussion sheets for spouses, parents, and family members that promote communication
* Visual aids that explain problems at a glance
Brief Therapy Client Handouts helps you reinforce and validate ideas presented in therapy and comfort your clients during those lonely, anxious times in between sessions.

Very Handy December 31, 2007

I like this book. I have passed it around to other clinicials in my office and we have all found at least a few handouts that we like. I especially like the explanation that the book gives for the exercises. I've found it most useful with my pre-teen and teen clients.
 Very Useful! December 23, 2005

This book, which wisely includes a C.D. is great because you can give your client a piece of paper they can really use concerning the chosen treatment and hopeful outcome that was just covered in the session. It is concise and very well written.
ONE OF THE MOST USEFUL AND USED BOOKS FOR CLIENT EDUCATION September 26, 2004
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
In 30 years of psychotherapy practice,I have used handouts from this book more than any other source. Many clients like these handouts because they are short and give an overview of the topic.They are not in depth guides,however.This is one of the few books worth several times its cost.
 Not Helpful to My Clients February 28, 2002
16 out of 19 found this review helpful
Cohen-Posey has packed this book and disc with a great deal of useful information which, although very helpful to a professional, is not at all helpful to my clients. I deal with college students who are reluctant to do yet more "homework". The handouts presented here are so full of information that one senses they might need a several hours just to comprehend the directions for the assignment. Additionally, the layout of the exercises is awful -- not enough white space and attractive lettering to invite someone to dig into the assignment. Sounds very shallow, yet layout design is very important to consider. All in all a good book for very motivated private practice clients ( a rarity!); not practical or useful for traditional-age college students.
I love this book March 18, 2000

In my many years of practice I've never seen anything to compare with this book. It contains extremely well-researched information in a form which clients will find easy to read and utilize as a part of therapy. I was impressed with the visual aids, assessment questionnaires and progress charts to help clients understand their problems and set up programs for change. The range of problems covered in this book is so comprehensive that I've been able to find at least one helpful handout for each of my clients. I find the disk format especially helpful. I'm able to quickly print exactly what I want, and I can personalize the handouts any way I like. I have found that my clients develop a better understanding of their problems and begin to work on change more quickly when I give them these handouts at the beginning of therapy. I think this is a wonderful resource for both therapist and client!
