With a frequency of three 1.5-hour sessions per week, you will have materials to work with your patient for about 10 months. The handbooks are reasonably priced to enable patients to use materials in colour to boost their engagement and motivation. Once purchased, the therapist’s handbook can be used by the therapist as often as deemed necessary. However, we recommend purchasing a patient’s handbook for each one, as they will do the exercises in pen or pencil. The full programme consists of two folders or handbooks: one for the therapist and one for the patient. The contents of each folder vary and are organised so that both have everything they need to carry out the process without requiring additional resources.
