Another Great Book! January 5, 2009
This book and the prequel "Creative Interventions" are the two most used books are my bookshelf! The activities are child friendly, fun and engaging. The book is well organized and user friendly. This book is a must have for any working with children. I highly recommend it!

I have thoroughly enjoyed many of the techniques suggested in this book. Many of them are very simple and minimal additional resources are needed. Great addition!

This is a resource you will go back to again and again. Lots of helpful techniques, ways to adapt common chidhood games...well worth the money if you counsel elementary school kids. Content probably too young for kids over 13.

Immediately put to use! November 25, 2006
12 out of 12 found this review helpful

This is a book that a therapist can put to use immediately. It is extemely well-organized:
-chapters divided by topics
-a chart indicating activities for each stage of therapy, modality and age
-clear directions included with each activity

Many of the pages are reproducible, and most of the activities require materials that are easy to find. Best of all, the activities are clearly therapeutic!

My only complaint (and it's minor so I'm not removing any stars) is that several activities involve candy. Since I work with elementary students in a district that has implemented the federal nutrition guidelines, I cannot give students candy nor can I give any food as a reward. Some of those activities can be "tweaked" so that I give stickers instead. However, that's a very minor point, and overall, the book is a fabulous resource!

Don't miss Paper Dolls and Paper Airplanes, a similar book co-authored by Lowenstein, that contains extensive activities for pre-schoolers, elementary children and teens who have been sexually abused.
