"Draw me a picture of what you would look like if you turned into a
monster." Dennis McCarthy's work with distressed or traumatized
children begins with an exercise that is simple but very effective:
he invites the child to communicate with him in their own way,
through the non-verbal language of play. Using case studies from
his clinical experience and with numerous children's monster
drawings, McCarthy lets the meaningful self-expression of the child
take centre stage. He demonstrates that being allowed to play, move
and draw impulsively and creatively in the supportive presence of
the therapist is in fact the beginning of the therapeutic process.
These activities are shown to be more therapeutic for the child in
practical terms than the interpretation of the clues it provides
about the child's state of mind. This very accessible book will be
inspiring reading for play therapists and other professionals
working therapeutically with young children and their families.
