Rezensionen

'A comprehensive presentation of current practices in the field of Play Therapy. Highly recommended!' - Charles E. Schaefer, Ph.D., RPT-S, Cofounder & Director Emeritus, the Association for Play Therapy.



'What a wonderful new addition to our field! Each chapter is authored by an experienced clinician and expert in the topic and it clearly shows. It is refreshing to read clearly articulated approaches with case examples. The result is the ability to easily put the information into action. In fact, I used two of the techniques right away with current clients. Another chapter assisted me in viewing a client in a new way, assisting to facilitate more effective treatment. What a delight. I believe this book will be found valuable by both the new and seasoned play therapist.' - Linda E. Homeyer, PhD, RPTS, Professor, Texas State University, USA.
