Edited by Monit Cheung

Series : Lyceum

Therapeutic Games and Guided Imagery is packed with tools for social workers, counselors, school professionals, students, and other helping professionals in the medical and mental health fields. The exercises included are both innovative and empirically tested; they aim to help clients increase the benefits of psychotherapy within a relatively short time.
