Child and family psychotherapist Eric J. Green draws on years of
clinical experience to explain his original model of Jungian play
therapy. The empathic techniques he illuminates in "The Handbook of
Jungian Play Therapy with Children and Adolescents" can effectively
treat children who are traumatized by abuse, natural disasters, and
other losses, as well as children who have attention deficit and
autism spectrum disorders.
The overarching goal of Green's Jungian play therapy model is to
help children and adolescents become psychologically whole
individuals. Toward that end, therapists encourage children to
engage in sandplay, spontaneous drawing, and other expressive arts.
Green demonstrates how therapists can create an atmosphere of
warmth and psychological safety by observing the child's play
without judgment and, through the therapeutic relationship, help
children learn to regulate their impulses and regain emotional
equilibrium.
Designed for master's level and doctoral students, as well as
school counselors, play therapists, and private practitioners, the
book covers the theoretical underpinnings of "depth psychology"
while highlighting easy-to-understand case studies from Green's own
practice to illustrate Jungian play therapy applications at
work.
