A Practical Guide to Developing Therapeutic Relationships with Children

"The authors . . . make child-centered play therapy readily
understandable to those who wish to take advantage of its long
history of helping children overcome problems and grow emotionally
to a level of maturity difficult to achieve by any other
approach."

?From the Foreword, by Louise F. Guerney, PhD, RPT-S

A comprehensive resource that thoroughly teaches the theory,
methods, and practice of child-centered play therapy


Child-Centered Play Therapy: A Practical Guide to Developing
Therapeutic Relationships
with Children offers how-to direction
and practical advice for conducting child-centered play therapy.
Filled with case studies, learning activities, and classroom
exercises, this book presents extensive coverage of play therapy
applications such as setting goals and treatment planning, as well
as recommendations for family and systemic services that can be
provided along with play therapy.


This rich resource provides:




  • A thorough introduction to the theory and guiding principles
    underlying child-centered play therapy




  • Skill guidance including structuring sessions, tracking,
    empathy, responding to children's questions, and role-play




  • Effective ways of determining what limits to set in the playroom
    and how to set them in a therapeutically effective manner




  • Clear methods for monitoring children's progress through stages
    as well as external measures of progress




  • Practical guidance in adjunct therapist tasks such as playroom
    set-up, documentation, ending therapy, and working with parents,
    teachers, and principals




Endorsed by Louise Guerney?a founding child-centered play
therapy figure who developed the skills-based methods covered in
this book?Child-Centered Play Therapy comprehensively
and realistically introduces practitioners to the child-centered
approach to play therapy and addresses how to incorporate the
approach into schools, agencies, or private practice.
