    Looks great. Simple easy to follow instructions for games/tasks organized according to diagnostic criteria. So, if you want to help someone with ADHD, Dysregulation, OCD, Depression, ASD, etc., you go to the section for that diagnostic cohort and find great information and tasks to help them reduce symptoms and improve outcomes. Found it to be a great book (I'm a neuropsychologist/psychologist and my husband training to be a counselor)

    This is one of my favorite therapy books. This week alone I flipped through it and found more interventions I previously hadn't seen, and remembered a few I had. It is well-thought-out and inventive in it's approach. I highly recommend it for child and family therapists who see a variety of diagnoses and family difficulties.

    This is a wonderful book for mental health clinicians and play therapists to utilize with children who are diagnosed with mental health disorders such as with anxiety, ADHD, depression, etc and also for children with past trauma. What I really love about this book is not only they discuss what each disorder is, and emphasize the importance of the therapist-child relationship and the family relationship, but they also provide a case illustration on each disorder and several creative activities towards the end of each chapter that be used to treat children with a variety of these disorders. The book is also written in layman terms to allow beginning mental health and psychology students such as I, gain a better understanding for each disorder. I highly recommend this book to those working with children!
