Hi Vanessa, I'm glad that even as a student you already see the value in these types of assignments. To answer your question about when I would use them, it really is an individual call, because it's important to have a good rapport and relationship established with your client. A client who is really attending to these tasks will begin to be touching on some raw emotions and fears. I would want to be sure that both the client and I are comfortable with each other and that she/he knows that I will provide a safe environment for them to share their feelings and thoughts. At the same time, I will still start them as soon as possible because I feel, with teens and adults, you need to address the full range of the ABCs in order for progress to be real and solid. Marybeth
