Play Therapy with Children in Crisis, Third Edition: Individual, Group, and Family Treatment Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great foundation book for clinicians who work with children and families in crisis. It covers a range of issues including domestic violence, foster care, divorce, bereavement, and serious illness, and it presents a number of current psychotherapy approaches such as Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. Other books I recommend for clinicians who provide therapy to children and families include:Structured Play-Based Interventions for Engaging Children and Adolescents in Therapy

This practical casebook and widely adopted text presents effective, creative approaches to helping children who have experienced such stressful situations as parental death or divorce, abuse and neglect, violence in the school or community, and natural disasters. While the book retains the focus on in-depth case studies that made prior editions so popular, 17 of the 21 chapters are entirely new, and all chapters reflect the latest knowledge on crisis intervention, trauma, and short-term play therapy. Timely new topics include the crisis of parental military deployment, the impact of Hurricane Katrina on families, immigration-related trauma, terrorism, and disrupted adoption.
