Storytelling and Other Activities for

Storytelling can lead to successful therapeutic treatment with children confronting situations such as abuse or grief who may not be able to express their emotions directly. In this collection, the authors provide dozens of multicultural, modern stories that can help children and preteens gain mastery over their environment by controlling a story's ending-by talking about, writing about, or drawing their own endings. Mental health practitioners treating children and adolescents will benefit from the "cookbook" format providing quick access to activities and instructions.
