I have found DBT Therapeutic Activity Ideas for Kids and Caregivers to be an invaluable guide to helping children along this journey. Carol Lozier's activities make it fun and exciting for children to practice what they learned in session. It is clear that Carol Lozier, MSW LCSW knows DBT and understands children. This guide makes it super easy for therapists to explain, plan, and practice activities with children and their family members. Carol Lozier has a unique way of simplifying complex psychological ideas into a single quote, short directions and images or anecdotes that children can really relate to. I would highly recommend this book to any caregiver struggling to understand or interact with their elementary-school aged child and look forward to using these DBT activities in child therapy for many years to come. --Dr. Debora Jason, PhD, co-founder and Clinical Director of Trauma Therapy CA, DBT Foundational Trained therapist by Behavior Tech, and member of a fully compliant and comprehensive DBT team.

Love that this version is geared toward younger people but is adaptable for all ages. The descriptions provide good imagery and interaction options. The art is simple but cute and brings a sense of welcoming and brings life to the pages. As someone who is constantly using DBT, I love this addition to Carol's collection and am very happy to have this new book in my DBT collection now! -JL
