There may be something said for catharsis but there's no hint of focusing on a client's strengths in this book, which is what I'd hoped for. incredibly simple to use a useful tool for stimulating in depth communication around important emotional issues.It has some great worksheet in it which are suitable to use with all ages right from about 6 year olds through to adults. The cards will not go out of date as I imagine they will illustrate life’s difficulties that are timeless. This book might be better for someone working with adults who have some pretty hefty issues in their past but even so, I find the activities encourage rumination and negativity. The addition of the cards will help adults open the conversation with children/young people about difficult feelings.
