    About this ebook

    If you are looking for a way to reconnect with your children, students, team, spouse, or elderly parent, this book is for you.

    Breakthrough Therapy Techniques for Individuals, Groups, Kids, and Adults is a collection of therapeutic activities for every day people, as well as professionals. Familiar toys and games are used and transformed into therapeutic interventions. Activities include ice-breakers and getting-to-know-you exercises, in addition to various activities meant to address issues such as grief and loss, anger, self-esteem, divorce, and much more.

    Ms. Kuntz has written a comprehensive, well-organized guide on various treatment modalities for a wide-ranging patient clientele. She provides clear directions on the therapeutic techniques with numerous examples. The style is casual and very readable making it useful to both beginning therapists and experienced clinicians Howard Leftin, Adult Psychiatrist, M.D.

    The book was great. Well explained and so worth it. Want to try some of the techniques on my children who are 9 and 10. Thanks for sharing. Robin Stephenson, Life Tree Adoption Agency

    Mrs. Kuntz used these activities to solve some sibling problems in our family. My children were always eager to see her. She is creative, fun and an empathic counselor. I am so excited she has shared some of her activities with us. Marty Bask

      I am so thankful to the many people that helped piece this book together: Paula DiBonaventura, Caitlan Ferraez, Jade Ferraez, Jennifer Silva, and Christie Stockstill, who edited and aided in the creativity of the names and games. I am grateful for the opportunities at the facilities, schools, and with the numerous professionals and clients who gave this book more reason to come to life. I must acknowledge Mississippi State University and the many professors who taught me. Last, I give a special thank you to my parents, my husband, Johnny, and child, Adison who were so patient while I was working on this book.
