Review Quotes:
"Dr. Rachel McRoberts has done a masterful job at integrating Jungian concepts into the world of play therapy and counseling. The book is rich with information covering a broad base of Jung's influence over many disciplines, from cognitive-behavioral to the evolving world of neuroscience. This book is a pleasure because she wraps her mind around some very complicated and delicate theoretical concepts and manages to hold onto her sense of humor and wonder about it all."
John Paul "JP" Lilly, MS, LCSW, RPT-S, Chief Mechanic, Jungian Analytical Play Therapy

"An insightful journey through the realms of personal and professional growth, this book delves deep into aesthetics of existence, navigating the complexities of post-modernism and the therapeutic alliance. With a focus on ethics, identity, and the influence of Jungian counseling, it offers a profound exploration of the psyche's structure, language, and the transformative power of creative techniques. A must-read for anyone seeking a Jungian-centered approach to counseling and play therapy."
