Description:
Therapeutic Games and Guided Imagery is packed with tools for social workers, counselors, school professionals, students, and other helping professionals in the medical and mental health fields. Through the use of interactive exercises, therapists and professionals can help their clients build confidence and develop new perspectives on their interpersonal relationships. The games and guided imagery exercises included are both innovative and empirically tested; they aim to help clients increase the benefits of psychotherapy within a relatively short time.
Professor Cheung has structured the book with tables and a cross-referenced index to facilitate easy and efficient navigation of the many step-by-step activities and exercises. The techniques help clients relax, express their feelings, and enhance their abilities to improve their interpersonal relationships. These exercises not only benefit clients; they promote creativity and flexibility in clinicians.
The games and guided imagery exercises are inventive helping tools that students and practitioners will use as they guide clients along the path to better mental health.
