Description: "This book helps practitioners choose from the broad range of play therapy approaches to create a comprehensive treatment plan that meets the individual needs of each child. From leaders in the field, the volume provides a flexible roadmap for assessment, case formulation, and intervention for frequently encountered psychological disorders and adversities. The focus is creating a unique therapy "prescription" that is tailored to the child's presenting problems as well as his or her strengths, challenges, and developmental level. Contributors present up-to-date knowledge on each clinical problem, describe practices that have been shown to be effective, and share vivid illustrations of work with 3- to 16-year-olds and their parents"--
Review Quotes: "This book brings together the voices and rich clinical experiences of a highly respected, well-known, and extensively published team of play therapy experts....The book is a timely, relevant, and useful volume whose strength and utility lie in its well-informed, empirically supported, box-of-chocolates approach to guiding--rather than directing--clinicians. There is something for everyone, especially so for those clinicians willing and ready to embrace the value and significance of a prescriptive approach to play therapy."
