Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As every child therapist knows, the hardest part of helping resistant children is engaging them in therapy. Their anger on the surface, fear underneath, difficulty expressing themselves verbally, and inability to trust interfere with establishing a therapeutic relationship. Dr. David Crenshaw developed projective techniques to overcome all of these obstacles. He found common themes and used them to design drawing and storytelling techniques to engage children in meaningful therapeutic dialogue. Dr. Crenshaw developed these techniques for engaging resistant children during over three decades of observing play and fantasy productions of angry, defiant and anxious children. But you don't have to spend three decades developing these techniques. Dr. Crenshaw's directives for the Child's Drawing and Storytelling activities are clearly described along with follow-up questions or issues for the therapist to consider in the first in a series of Child and Family Therapy Guidebook Series.This first uidebook, pictured above, explains in detail how to use ten original projective drawing and storytelling strategies with angry, defiant, oppositional, and anxious children to engage them in meaningful therapeutic dialogue. The stories consist of:·THE MISUNDERSTOOD MOUSE ·THE WHAT IF ALRUS ·ALL THE ANIMALS LISTEN WHEN THE WISE OLE OWL SPEAKS ·THE TREE ON TOP OF THE HILL ·BLOW-UP BERNIE ·THE BALLISTIC STALLION ·BEHIND THE CLOSED DOOR ·THE BUMBLE BEE WHO OULDN'T STOP STINGING ·THE ANIMAL THAT NOBODY WANTS TO HUG ·THE PIGLET THAT DIDN'T FIT These strategies are very practical and usable ways to engage 7-12 year-old kids in therapy who don¿t want to talk, don't want to play!"This book is Volume One in a Series of Child and Family Therapy Guidebooks to be published by the Rhinebeck Child and Family Center Publications. The Guidebooks will phasize practical and clinically useful techniques that the busy practitioner can easily incorporate into their work in the child or family therapy room. The series editor John B. Mordock, Ph.D., ABPP, has published extensively on child and family therapy topics over his distinguished career. The Guidebooks will contain contributions from other experienced child and family therapists as well as from Dr. Crenshaw.

This book was released on 2013-10-17 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescents are often an overlooked clinical population. Among school-based practitioners, there is a natural inclination to focus the delivery of mental health services, assessment measures, and intervention plans on younger children, and there is a strong research base to support these programs. On the other hand, the waiting rooms of most practitioners in private practice are filled with young and middle-age adults, couples, or families with young children. Because most therapists do not specialize in working with teens, who might make up only a small portion of their overall caseload, there is a need for high quality, easily implemented activities to help engage with adolescent clients. This book provides an overview of the principles of therapeutic storytelling, developmental issues of adolescents and young adulthood, and their strengths-based model, before moving into a series of chapters devoted to specific issues. Commonly encountered topics such as sexuality, parent & peer relationships, substance abuse, violence & gangs, bereavement, and cultural and religious issues are covered within the chapters. Includes a convenient companion website designed to facilitate ease of use for the busy professional or academic contains printable storytelling and activity worksheets, color photographs for phototherapy and guided imagery, and additional resources/website links.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research shows us clearly what works in counseling and psychotherapy. Often by the time clients enter a therapist’s office they have been told what to do—often soundly and sensibly—by well-meaning family, friends, and health professionals. The challenge for the effective therapist is how to communicate these same, sound messages in ways that the client is more likely to take on board, act on, and benefit from. 101 Stories for Enhancing Happiness and Well-Being harnesses the power of stories to translate the research from positive psychology into effective and practical therapeutic interventions. It communicates the core processes for enhancing happiness and well-being in ways that are easy to understand and incorporate into one’s therapeutic practice and clients’ lives.
