Do you ever do things you later regret, such as use drugs, get into fights, run away, steal things, or say things you do not mean? If so, doing the exercises in the PRISM workbook can help you develop better control over your behavior. If you get easily depressed, angry or anxious, PRISM will help you develop better control over your thoughts and feelings.
The basic building blocks for self-management are: Self-Talk Self-Soothing Self-Expression
Putting these together will give you the power to take charge of your life, to stop doing things automatically, and to increase your options.
I am Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Miami, Florida, and I have been using this workbook for years. I have used it with juvenile delinquents, sex offenders, and domestic violence offenders. It is an excellent way to engage resistant clients and incorporate goals and measure successful treatment completion. I have also used it with families who need to learn to communicate and with stress management. I use it when teaching graduate counseling classes. The chapter on Active Listening is is a practical way to teach person-centered therapy and gives the students a chance to role play.

It incorporates hands on activities, role-plays, and ends each group with a guided relaxation exercise. A great approach for reaching children with various degrees of abilities and different learning styles.
