Book Description
Clinical work with difficult populations requires the sharpest, most effective set of clinical tools a clinician can acquire. Most importantly, it requires clinical tools that are direct, speaks a therapeutic language, but also includes no nonsense talk that the population can relate to, and understand. These attributes are exactly what Dr. O’Banye’s Group, Individual and Family Clinical Therapy Cards offers both the client and the clinician. Dr. O’Banye’s Group, Individual and Family Clinical Therapy Cards comes with 37 cards. The clinical cards direct and assist the client to open up about many difficult topics. The cards contain questions clinicians have difficulty formulating. These questions explore the roots of the clients’ issues, as well as their impact, in the deeper levels of the individual's mind, body and spirit. These cards can be used in group, individual, and family sessions. The client will pick a card randomly from the deck, and address the issue on the card. This random selection is strategic, as it puts the power of card in the client’s hand, and makes the therapeutic session much less threatening for the client, which leads to better rapport building between the client and the clinician.
