120 crazy question cards as an introduction into child psychotherapy

• a playful way to start the conversation
• informal and amusing elements for therapeutic work
• humorous creative approach


When doing therapeutic work with children, the first hours are of great importance. How should therapists get information and a perspective on the problem in a playful way, how should they start the conversation and get to know the child while, at the same time, introducing themselves and building up an atmosphere of trust? This can be achieved by using these ‘crazy’ conversation openers. And not, for the hundredth time, starting with the question, ‘why do you think you are here?’ but instead with an original and lively way to start the dialogue.
This set of cards provides a wealth of ideas which are both playful and which can deliver diagnostic information. They can serve as an instrument for retrieving rich information from the patient or to make clear the processes which will help during the course of the therapy. The set contains 120 cards with questions for use in child psychotherapy and counselling or educational work with children up to the age of 10.
