A comprehensive collection of hundreds of thought-provoking stories and activities for use in the treatment of children confronting difficult situations

Storytelling and Other Activities for Children in Therapy provides professionals with the knowledge, insight, and tools to help children (ages 6 to 12) and their families work through their treatment issues using storytelling and other activities. This invaluable guide includes helpful activity sheets that gradually progress through four levels of inquiry, representing readiness for self-disclosure.

Imaginative and easy-to-use, the stories and activities in this book are tied to relevant practice issues, including:

  • Illness and disability

  • School issues

  • Anger and behavioral issues

  • Social adjustment and shyness

  • Divorce and parental separation

  • Domestic violence

  • Community violence

  • Trauma and child abuse

  • Substance abuse

  • Death

With an accompanying website allowing therapists to personalize and print stories as well as activity sheets to meet their needs and those of their clients, Storytelling and Other Activities for Children in Therapy is an important tool in easing the pain of emotionally hurt children towards a discovery of their inner strengths and resilience for life. These resources can be accessed at www.wiley.com/go/slivinske.

I purchased this book to help me cope with a relative who is dealing with emotional issues and is having difficulty in school. I use to work in the mental health field but have been out of the profession for many years. This book was a delight to read and through storytelling and the other activities it offers I am able to offer my family member some concrete advice on how to deal with a very difficult and sensitive issue. I would highly recommend this book to health care professionals and to any person who may be experiencing challenges in their lives. Excellent and interesting book! Karen

For anyone dealing with children, this book is very informative and wonderfully written. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is seeking guidance or help in this area. It is very detailed, and in my opinion, far exceeds other books of its kind out there!
