Great book
My daughter-in-law requested this book for Christmas
I am a Case Manager for a Mobile Crisis Team and do additional Skills Building with Clients through MRSS services. This book has been a wonderful tool to utilize with my clients. Wonderful, wonderful book!
As a new therapist, this has been very helpful and has lead to many good discussions when I needed a little more direction. I enjoy these worksheets. They are easy to understand and I especially like the educational handouts and descriptions. Definitely recommend! Very relevant info.
