Product Description
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.
From the Back Cover
This book is unique in exploring the process of conducting short-term intensive group play therapy and the subsequent results. It focuses on play therapy with special populations of aggressive acting-out children, autistic children, chronically ill children, traumatized children, selective mute children, disassociative identity disorder adults with child alters, and the elderly.
The book addresses such vital issues as how play therapy helps children, confidentiality in working with children, how to work with parents, and what the play therapist needs to know about medications for children. The difficult dimension of diagnosis is clarified through specific descriptions of how the play therapist can use play behaviors to diagnose physical abuse, sexual abuse, and emotional maladjustment in children.
