The CBT Art Activity Book: 100 illustrated handouts for creative therapeutic work

I have used this book with students, young people and adults. As a counsellor, who previously perceived CBT as the enemy, this book has enabled and empowered clients who find verbalising experiences hard. The autonomy this book allows for and the collaborative nature it opens up, through creative exploration, in ways other therapies do not allow for, is commendable. Format aside-perhaps publishers may consider loose ring binder?- I would recommend all helping professions try this, you may surprise yourself. Ruth Netherwood MBACP Integrative Counsellor.

Fantastic book, full of printouts, which is what i wanted. Great theme and god quality book, so will withstand lots of copying for clients use.i highly recommend this book and appeals to young people and old!

Really liked it and so do my clients. Lovely ideas and therapeutic but not the easiest to photocopy. Would be better as a ring binder.

Very useful that you can copy the pages for groups to use

Love this book for mindfulness practice for staff, clients and kids. It's easily photocopiable too

As a therapist I thought this would be good for clients, however it more like an expensive colouring book. There is a section with very good and interesting worksheets, however, you then the get WHOLE alphabet to colour and 24 pictures, it's expensive for that.However, the fact that you can download the sheets is a plus.

so helpful and relaxing to work with children and anxious adults alike!

Really helpful item

Amazing resource! Thank you!

Es sind gute Arbeitsblätter enthalten, aber wenige. Sehr enttäuscht hat mich, daß das Alphabet den größten Raum im Buch einnimmt. Danach folgen simple Mandalas.Also insgesamt das Geld leider nicht wert.Aber die Idee schöne Arbeitsblätter zu entfernen und hoffentlich gibt es bald jemanden, der diese Lücke füllt.

This is good for those who have clients who like to be artistic with their feelings and CBT homework. This can reduce some anxiety of annoying CBT homework. This book is worth to have on the shelf. There is a coloring page for every letter of the alphabet but other than that. Clients enjoy the coloring part of their homework. It brings color to dull homework. I recommend this book. The clients rave that it looks more inviting for them. As it does have CBT activities, there is also the key component of mindfulness. You CAN incorporate CBT talk based on the activities in the book. I found that the book was even more inviting to people under the age 18 and college age students. If your client loves to color in adult coloring books this won't feel much different. Yes, there is no digital copy to download but the other book does. I was still able to copy pages for clients. From what I understand about the alphabets that others complain about is that this is a section on stress management. As we know client struggle with stress management in all levels, this can also go for every person at some level. Don't discredit someone who took the amount of time to draw this by hand and get it published. I wish there were more mental health professionals who could come up with books like these. You can see that she put a lot of work and detail in this book and her other activity book.

This book is great! Worksheets with excellent cognitive behavioral exercises to colour. Love it.

I absolutely love this book!! I work with survivors of Human Trafficking and am using this as part of their case plan development. This book offers 17 activity pages on self esteem and sense of self, 19 pages on managing emotions, coping with loss and change and also offers the alphabet and mandalas for stress management. The activity sheets promote thinking and engagement. They could be done in session or as homework. Thank you for this book....I look forward to more of these being published!!
