Reviews the 15 most commonly used play therapy modalities.
\nPlay therapy is the treatment of choice for children because it allows children to express their troubles through a natural healing process. This book explains why play therapy works and how to deliver it in the most direct and efficient manner.
\nEach chapter covers a different play therapy modality, including a description of the therapeutic benefits, core techniques, empirical support, and a case study.
\nFifteen modalities are covered in all: sand play, doll play, block play, drawing, bibliotherapy, storytelling, puppet play, guided imagery, drama, sensory play, clay play, music and movement, board games, electronic games, and virtual reality.
\nEdited by two acknowledged leaders in the field of play therapy, Heidi Gerard\u00a0Kaduson and Charles E. Schaefer, this volume was written for front line child therapists, including psychologists, counselors, social workers, and other health professionals; it will be an asset to any beginning child and play therapists as well as to experienced child clinicians who wish to expand their therapeutic tool kit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
