Working It Out: Using Exercise in Psychotherapy

Exercise is as valuable to the mind and psyche as it is to the body. But should you prescribe it to your clients? The answer is yes! In Working it Out, author Kate Hays describes how exercise can benefit a wide range of clients, from those acutely stressed to those with chronic distress, by alleviating stress and improving clarity and self-esteem. Exercise has a direct impact on psychotherapy and may be assigned as "homework" for the client or as a medium of therapy itself. Illustrated with case examples, quotes from psychologists, and support from research and clinical studies, Working it Out is a must read for practitioners looking for new and effective ways to help clients.
