CBT Toolbox for Children and Adolescents: Over 200 Worksheets & Exercises for Trauma, ADHD, Autism, Anxiety, Depression & Conduct Disorders

I am a clinical social worker. I have worked at an in-patient psychiatric hospital and in a partial hospitalization clinic facilitating group therapy program for kids, pre-teens, teens, and adults. Currently, I have been transitioning to an outpatient therapist and was looking for additional resources. I have used similar exercises to several of the ones in this book that I know have worked well in group therapy settings. I was very pleased to see some of my old favorites along with so many new and creatively-thought exercises that I am eager to try with my individual clients! I really loved the organizational structure of in-session exercises, homework for the client, as well as exercises for the caregiver. The exercises are also grouped in content areas of Cognitive Skills, Relationship Coaching, Competency Building, and Brain Based Learning and organized into areas for several different diagnoses, which works as a helpful guide when needing to use the exercises to prepare for session and/or for quick reference in session. I love the inclusion of the caregiver exercises as I think it is very important to involve the parent and these exercises are a wonderful way to incorporate caregiver involvement in a positive way. I am particularly happy to have such an easy to use quick reference to augment material for sessions! Thank you to the authors for such a well designed resource! Now, I just need to find one designed for adults!

It's a great investment for a psychologist dealing with children and adolescents.

This is an extremely helpful tool, especially for those who have minimal experience working with children. I recommend this book to everyone in the field!

This workbook is advertised for children and adolescence. As a third grade teacher, I would not recommend it for children at all. It really seems more like an adolescent type workbook.

I use this at home for my child with ADHD and OCD. My child enjoys completing the worksheets and we follow up with a discussion as my child completes them. It has been a great tool for self awareness and has helped my child recognize triggers and find ways to manage situations before they get out of hand.

I absolutely love these worksheets and exercises. I pick and choose which ones to do depending on the situations. I'll do the exercises verbally or on paper. I like that it helps the students think beyond and analyze their situations. Sometimes when I do the exercises verbally I'll stop after certain questions to open up a group discussion.

I just love this book. It's tidy, helpful, affordable and provides a segue into topics that may not surface otherwise.

This is a must have for all therapists who work with kids and teens! I have relied on this book so many times when I was last minute planning for a session or needed inspiration for a session. It's so easy to make photocopies of the pages to take into session and go over with clients. I love that it has so many different presenting problem sections too (depression, trauma, etc). I've found some fave worksheets over the year that I make sure to have copies of at all times because they really help clients gain insight!
