Description
This publication provides a medium for practitioners to share their most effective assessment and treatment interventions. When I invited practitioners to contribute techniques to this publication, I was impressed with the range of creative interventions submitted. Clinicians from divergent theoretical orientations, work settings, or client specializations will find a wide range of create and useable interventions in this book.
The interventions have been divided into three sections. The book begins with engagement and assessment activities providing clinicians with interventions to engage with and evaluate clients. The second section presents treatment techniques to facilitate the working through of therapeutic issues. The last section outlines interventions that can be incorporated as part of the client's termination process. A variety of activities are provided within each section to enable practitioners to choose interventions that suit their client's specific needs.
Each technique outlines specific goals. Materials needed to complete the activity are listed. The book includes detailed instructions for all activities and a discussion section that further clarifies application and process.
Practitioners using the interventions in this publication should be well-trained in therapeutic intervention with children and families. A warm and caring rapport must be established with the client, and the activities should be implemented using sound clinical principles.
I hope this collection of interventions helps to create an engaging and meaningful therapeutic experience for your clients.
