Child-friendly homework assignments for short-term and traditional therapy models

There are many benefits to assigning homework in between therapy sessions. It can help empower clients, increase treatment effectiveness, heighten awareness of issues, and encourage clients to follow through with behavioral changes. This Sixth Edition of Child Psychotherapy Homework Planner contains printer-ready assignments that can be used when treating children with a wide range of presenting problems. Some of the assignments are designed for child clients, others for parents, and still others for the parents and child to complete together. You’ll find expert suggestions selecting relevant assignments, preparing clients for each exercise, and discussing the homework after it has been completed.

Far from offering a one-size-fits-all approach, this book makes it easy to modify each exercise to meet clients’ unique needs, with downloadable versions of each assignment that you can edit. The customizable and printable exercises can be accessed through the online site via a link provided by Wiley. Practitioners are also encouraged to use clinical judgment in choosing appropriate assignments, and cross-references are provided to identify assignments that can be useful for multiple presenting problems. This trusted homework planner will help you actively engage children in their treatment processes—without adding to your workload.
