Select Condition 
Book Overview
This book brings together in a single volume concrete applications of play therapy by seasoned clinicians from various theoretical perspectives. The goal is to reflect the broad spectrum of approaches that now exist in the field. The major psychopathologies in children present the therapist with different problems and therefore require different approaches. Another guiding belief underlying this volume is that descriptive studies that carefully detail psychotherapy process are among the most useful and practical resources for both students and practicing therapists. This casebook offers step-by-step treatment guidelines for a number of childhood difficulties, including internalizing, externalizing, and post-traumatic disorders. It should be of interest to both students and more advanced practitioners in a variety of mental health disciplines, including social work; psychiatry; clinical, counseling, and school psychology; expressive arts therapy; child-life therapy; and psychiatric nursing.

Very useful reference
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I knew this book before purchasing-it is very useful in my practice with young children as a counseling intern. There is an explanation and case study for each of many modalities of play therapy. I bought it after borrowing the agency's copy for more than a month and realizing I didn't want to give it back because I referred to it so often. The clear description of each theory is also helpful and will be a good refresher as I approach the licensing exam.
