The Group Therapy Card Deck: CBT, DBT, ACT and Positive Psychology Tips and Tools

Clear, consise group activities that stay true to the theoretical orientations they purport to be from. Great for doing adult mental health therapy groups.

Great for group therapy

I assist with group counseling during my Practicum in grad school. The group leader was seeking some new ideas to engage group which is predominantly anxiety and depression based. There are a lot of fun and meaningful activities in this deck that send messages to members using different modalities.

Although the cards did not present some revolutionary new idea that would blow your mind, putting them into a card form where they can be drawn and used for interpersonal interaction makes them an effective tool. It helps to ease the tension or break the ice in groups of people or during sessions, so this comes highly recommended from me and I've used it in a multitude of occasions (not sessions).

I love the amount of cards and ideas. I use these everywhere and most of the time don't have to modify them for my groups.

These come in handy, especially when I am in a bit of a fog and need ideas to work with my groups. So far, the topics I’ve used have gone over well

Essentially the exact same thing as the books. Not worth buying unless you want a random idea for a group without any theoretical info or process insights.

I run groups with a variety of capabilities in each one, wide range of topics and issues. My group members LOVE these, got them into more interactions than I have seen in a long time. I really like these-- and so do my participants. they are great for when you have to run a group at the last minute, without advanced notice.
