Review
"Throughout the book, case examples wiht dialogue are given tobring the innovations to life. Supporting research and recommendations based on the author's practical experience give the book added credibility. Although this book is best suited for individuals witha solid understanding of play therapy theory and procedures, I would highly recomment it for both play therapist in training and the experience play therapist. Readers will be refreshed and equipped withplay therapy innovations for the 21st century."

Product Description
This work is a compilation of discussions on current and pressing issues in play therapy. Designed to help play therapists fill in the gaps as therapeutic considerations multiply, this book includes coverage of topics such as: what play therapists need to know about medication; legal and ethical issues in play therapy; cultural considerations; play as a diagnostic tool; innovative procedures such as child-centred group play therapy and intensive short-term group play therapy; play therapy with special populations such as autistic children, children with chronic illness, selective mute children, physically abused children, and the elderly; play therapy with traumatized children in a crisis situation; and work as a travelling play therapist. All based upon a belief on the profound healing capacity of the relationship, the discussions in this book arm therapists with knowledge to enhance their work with increasingly diverse groups and ever changing circumstances.
