 Tom Levold, Köln: Dieser großformatige Sammelband folgt einem ersten Band von „Homework, Handouts, and Activities for Use in Psychotherapy“, der bereits 2006 erschienen ist. Die Herausgeberinnen , Lorna L. Hecker und Catherine Ford Sori, beide erfahrene Universitätslehrerinnen in Familientherapie und Autorinnen zahlreicher Veröffentlichungen in diesem Bereich, haben 34 Beiträge von AutorInnen aus dem Feld der Paar- und Familientherapie versammelt, die jeweils eine Technik bzw. ein Hilfsmittel präsentieren, das sich in unterschiedlichen Settings einsetzen lassen, um den Fokus der Wahrnehmung zu erweitern, Verhaltensänderungen zu erleichtern oder kreative Lösungen zu finden. Auch wenn die Autorinnen und Autoren durchaus verschiedenen theoretischen Orientierungen zugerechnet werden können, werden diese in aller Regel nicht expliziert. Stattdessen wird der Wert vor allem auf eine einheitliche Darstellung gelegt, die das Aufsuchen einzelner Tools erleichtert und auf eine möglichst knappe Vorstellung abzielt. Es werden zu jedem Tools in fester Reihenfolge die Ziele der Übung, ihr Begründungszusammenhang, die genaue Anweisung für ihren Einsatz, eine kurze Fallgeschichte zur Demonstration sowie Vorschläge für die weitere Reflexion („Follow-Up“) erörtert, abgerundet durch einen Absatz zum Stichwort Kontraindikationen und Literaturhinweisen zur weiteren Vertiefung. Im Anschluss an diesen Überblick gibt es zu fast jedem Tool eine Sektion „Handouts“, die sich sowohl als Kopiervorlagen nutzen als auch recht einfach für die eigene Praxis übertragen lassen. Die Beiträge sind in acht Sektionen gegliedert, die sowohl Settings als auch Themen betreffen, nämlich Paare (1), Kinder, Jugendliche und Familien (2), Erwachsene (3), Gruppen (4), Bewältigung von Trauma und Misshandlung (5), Scheidung und Stieffamilien (6), Spiritualität (7) und allgemeine therapeutische Tools (8). Wer in seiner therapeutischen Arbeit gerne unterschiedliche Materialien und Übungen einsetzt, findet hier eine Menge interessanter und brauchbarer Ideen zum praktischen Einsatz. Die Darstellung ist dabei ganz an pragmatischen Kriterien ausgerichtet und erleichtert auch beim Durchblättern eine schnelle Orientierung. Ein ausführliches Stichwortverzeichnis rundet das Buch ab.  Verlagsinformation: The Therapist’s Notebook, Volume 2: More Homework, Handouts, and Activities for Use in Psychotherapy is the updated classic that provides mental health clinicians with hands-on tools to use in daily practice.
