The Story So Far - Play Therapy Narratives (Paperback, illustrated edition)

Identity is formed through the narration of experience, and children who experience difficult life events may need help in forming and expressing their own narratives. Play therapy can be an appropriate way of facilitating this kind of expression. This manual describes the work of nine play therapists through the narratives of children - and some adults - whose stories emerge during their play therapy sessions.;These stories are not direct accounts of real happenings but are imaginative, metaphorical, complex and multi-layered. The life events they relate include fostering, long-term illness, and the traumatic death of a close adult. One chapter examines attachment in families and another describes the Biography Laboratory project exploring story creation through action research.
