Coping Cat Workbook, Second Edition

I have used this program with my clients dozens of times and the children (and parents) have made measurable progress and gained confidence regularly.

Do your research, check out my statements, but in my literature reviews this appears to be the manualized treatment for children with the greatest body of research supporting it's efficacy, and I have used it for years as a licensed psychologist to very good effect for my clients (sorry, that doesn't mean a parent can just pick it up and get the same results). However, despite being a bit dated looking, if you are professional, this should be on your short list - also works with populations such as kids with mild ASDs

I am a clinical psychologist in private practice, working primarily with children and adolescents. Many of my clients suffer from anxiety, and I have found the Coping Cat program to be a helpful tool to help them learn about CBT theory and practice. The concepts are child-focused and easy to understand, and the take-home activities reinforce the concepts that are introduced during our sessions (even though my clients are not consistent in completing the take-home activities...). Overall, the Coping Cat program is a useful therapeutic tool and I recommend it to other mental health professionals. Please note that therapists will ALSO need to buy the Coping Cat therapist manual, since it does not come with the child workbook.

I work in behavioral health as a TSS. I read the reviews and saw that I didn't have to be a therapist to use it. It's super user friendly and fun to use. I think it's great that the book is designed to use by sections/in order but it doesn't have to be used that way. The kids love the feeling barometer (we call it the feelings wheel) and identifying the different emotions through cartoon exercises. The coping cards and things have me really excited to reuse and reuse. It is really valuable. Nothing I don't like about it.

This workbook was recommended for my granddaughter who has Trichotillomania. It's a great program for teaching kids how to cope with their anxiety rather than pulling out their hair, eyelashes or eyebrows. We are new to Trichotillomania so we've been gathering resources and books to help our granddaughter and her mother.

Hands-down, one of the best treatment modality for CBT anxiety tx for children. I and my colleagues use this a lot when working with kids. Highly recommend. Also very evidence-based.

Child used it

This is perfect learning tool for my 12 year old who is autistic

I have used this book many times (as a child counselor) to help children identify distress and learn coping skills. The manual is very user friendly and superficial (i.e. does not enquire about trauma or bad memories of the child). Would recommend!

My son really enjoys working in the book and it makes his anxiety tangible which makes it easier to understand.

pratique, accessible aux enfants et aux ados. exactement ce que je cherchais, seul petit problème : il n'est pas traduit... mais c'est accessoire.

Quick delivery. User friendly.

It is what it is.
