Helping Clients Regulate Emotions and Develop Effective Coping Skills is a step-by-step clinical guide to understanding emotion regulation, developing tools to measure and monitor emotion regulation, and creating individualized and personalized coping tools for clients.

The book explores and explains concepts that are often discussed, but rarely defined, and it teaches techniques that are currently not published. The chapters outline a model for defining mood and consistent scaling that can be used as a treatment tool, providing direction for care and measurables that can be included in clinical notes and for insurance purposes. This book also provides a step-by step framework that clinicians can use to teach clients how to regulate their emotions and utilize their natural support systems.

Counselors, social workers, psychologists, therapists, and other professionals will come away from this workbook with a deep understanding of what coping is and why it is effective. They'll also develop a toolbox of techniques that they can use for helping clients develop their own coping skills.
