I purchased this item because of other books in the Practice Planners series. I have a number of the homework planners, which I use frequently. The software included allows the clinician to revise and customize the forms. I bought this item because more than 50% of my practice is with adolescents; I was very disappointed. First, the exercises are more appropriate for pre-teens (ages 10 through 13) than for teenagers. Some exercises could be used for even younger ages. For example, there is a section on enuresis and encopresis; I do not know many teenagers with bowel control problems (pre-teens, maybe). Another example is in the section on depression. In an exercise called "Surface Behavior/Inner Feelings," there is a narrative about a boy and his teacher. The boy is described as a sixth grader. That would make him 11 or 12 most likely. The story was good, and I used it - but I had to change the age, grade, and a few other details to make it applicable to my 16 year old client. That is not to say that none of the exercises are appropriate for teens (ex: the No Self Harm contract), but certainly the majority are geared toward younger ages. Even they way they are written suggests a young audience, not a teenage one. In addition, there are no exercises regarding drug use, peer pressure, ethical decision making, or sexuality (except gender identity disorder).

Another issue is the software. The "text" file contained many items not included in the book, and vice versa. This was confusing.

I think the authors should either revise the book to be more contemporary with adolescent populations, and/or publish a similar "planner" for the pre-teenager.

By A Customer

As a therapist, I have used this workbook with both adolescent and adult clients, and have found it helpful for both populations. The book includes some very useful handouts that can be used during session or for homework in between sessions. Most of the handouts are for the client, and there are few for parents of the adolescent client. Most of them can be used with adults, and some can be used with younger children who have higher reading levels. I love how the book came with a CD-rom that allows you to open and print each handout; it allows you to delete and add things to the handout. I would recommend this to any therapist that likes to incorporate handouts and activities into their work with clients.
