Customer Reviews

every client should have this homeworkd
it helps when clients that want to make changes in their lifes can see in frount of them work they are doing to make that change. my therapist didn't provide me with homework, so i went out and got my own! i think homework should be a part of every therapy duration. even if you give them a sheet and tell them they can do it when they are ready, just to leave it on there coffee table or some other place they can see it a lot and so they can think about the questions, and then they can do it at their own pace and when they are done and ready to discusse it they can bring it back.

Great Brief Homework Excercises
These assignments are a wonderful adjunct to the therapy process. They are very down-to-earth and practical -- no off-the-wall stuff here, just common sense, mainline psychology applied to everyday life circumstances. They are not too long so the client will be more apt to complete them. The exercises are focused on common presenting problems (Anger Management, Chemical Dependence, Depression, Sexual Dysfunction, Intimate Relationship Conflict, etc.) and they can be copied directly from the book or customized on your computer and printed from the CD that is included. If you are using The Complete Adult Psychotherapy Treatment Planner to formulate your client's treatment plan, these asignments are fully integrated with the presenting problems in the Treatment Planner book. I also like the fact that these assignments can be accessed in TheraScribe, the computerized treatment planning software, if you purchase the additional module that can be installed into the program. These Practice Planner materials save a lot of time and enhance the treatment process. You will not be disappointed.
