Format:Mass Market Paperback
Fantastic book - anyone wanting to or currently working with children in a therapeutical setting should get this - the fantastic case studies, short concise chapters cover everything the novice play therapist needs to know.
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I don't feel there is any book better if you are interested in non directive play. Axline is the buisness but it is difficult to implement with all the constraints of time etc..

THE WORK OF A PIONEER
17 Dec 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Dr. Axline uses a series of recorded sessions with different children ranging in age from 5 to 12. Histories of each child is given and the course of action taken during the sessions. Group and invidual sessions of the children is recorded in playwright tone; that is, T: C: (therapist, child) so that one sees how the communication flowed during the sessions.
These sessions were conducted during the 1940s when pyschiatry was breaking new ground in the U.S. Issues such as extended hospitalization, foster care, death and physical challenges and the natural expressions of each child regarding such issues were explored. During this period in history, this was pioneer work.
This book is interesting, flowing and a very satisfying read. It is a work that is still applicable.

Excellent!
16 Sep 2005
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Axline's book is a "must read" for persons interested in play therapy. I have used her book along with the text while teaching at the university level. Her book provides the reader with case studies and practical information. Her writing style is intelligible as well as technical-a rare find!

easy read
11 Oct 2005
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Easy read but a bit redundant in its explinations. The writing sounds like she is talking to you and is not as formal in language as other psychology books. Although it is dated the information within the book is useful for work being done today in this area.
