Making The Most Of Your Trial

Psychology Tools

Welcome to Psychology Tools!

Our job is to make your life as a mental health professional easier, and we’re delighted that you’ve created a Trial account. You can browse the whole site and will be able to download a selection of resources for inspection – although you may find that access to some resources is restricted to members with paid memberships. This short guide will introduce you to the kind of resources that we publish and the best ways to find them.

The range of Psychology Tools resources

We publish a wide range of therapy resources to support your practice. These include:

  • Worksheets: these are forms that you fill in with your client, or that they complete alone.
  • Exercises: these are something that you do with your client, often to gather information, or so that they can learn a new skill.
  • Information handouts: these are simple psychoeducation resources to help your clients (and their friends and family) to learn more about a topic.
  • Guides: these are short (10-20 pages) self-help resources to help your clients master a particular skill (they are only available to members with a Complete or Advanced plan).
  • Audio: Psychology Tools audio collections are designed to help your clients to learn or develop a skill (they are only available to members with a Complete or Advanced plan).
  • Workbooks: these are long-form resources to support your clients in overcoming a problem (they are only available to members with a Complete or Advanced plan).
  • Treatments That Work Titles: Psychology Tools has partnered with Treatments That Work, a series of evidence-based treatment programs. Twenty titles are available to download chapter-by-chapter for users on a Complete plan.

How to find what you need

We know what it’s like: your client is arriving in five minutes and you need to feel prepared. We have developed different ways to help you to find what you need, when you need it and have written a short guide here.

 

Downloading the resource you want

Once you have found the resource you want you can download it in multiple languages and formats. As a Trial member you can download resources in the following formats:

  • Full Pack which is a good all-round choice. It is a PDF file containing the tool, instructions, and case examples where appropriate.
  • Exercise/Worksheet/Information handout only is just what it says – a single-page PDF file.
