Reviews for The CBT Art Activity Book: 100 illustrated handouts for creative therapeutic work

I look forward to using activity pages from The CBT Art Activity Book - the detail and content of each page is ideal for the kind of art journaling and creative expression activities I do with my clients. The use of cognitive behavioral therapy within the handouts is a bonus! -- Bonnie Thomas, LCSW Child and Family Counselor and author of 'How to Get Kids Offline, Outdoors, and Connected to Nature: 200+ Activities to Encourage Self Esteem, Mindfulness, and Wellbeing' A little treasure inspired by cognitive behavioural psychotherapy ideas and creative principles. Beautiful and easy to use worksheets, which will compliment a clinician's tool kit. Especially helpful for brief interventions with emphasis on emotional exploration. -- Themis Kyriakidou, MA ATh, MSc FPC, Art Psychotherapist I am neither a CBT therapist nor an artist - and yet it feels like this book was produced with me in mind. A synthesis of informative text and inspirational designs that leave me excited about new possibilities in my work with a whole range of people I'm working with - young people, adults and families. This book will appeal, and be extremely useful to counsellors and therapists from a broad spectrum of theoretical orientations, and is by no means limited to those who describe themselves as 'CBT therapists' or as being 'artistic.' Bravo Jennifer, this is a wonderful resource for enhancing and deepening the therapeutic encounter. -- Paul Stockwell, UKCP Registered Family and Systemic Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor What a brilliant resource for therapists working with young people! The worksheet designs are immediately engaging and aesthetically suited to young people. Each section starts with brief helpful and accessible information for the counsellor. I am sure that this is what young people want - an opportunity to have conversations with adults on their own terms, choosing a word, a question, a pattern to work into. An important addition for the counselling field. Adults will want to use it too! -- Dr Gail Simon, Principal Lecturer in Systemic Practice, University of Bedfordshire
