Exploring how practitioners make use of play's developmental
benefits and therapeutic healing properties to aid the child's
health care journey, this reflective book expands and enhances the
knowledge base underlying the practice of play in hospitals. The
work of health play specialists and child life specialists in
hospitals in the UK and around the world requires a deep level of
clinical knowledge, so that preparing children for procedures can
be done with skill and precision. It builds on an understanding of
both child development and the impact of traumatic experiences so
that children's deepest fears and biggest emotions can be faced
without flinching. It also relies on an acceptance that play is the
foundation of everything - the child's safest, most natural space -
and from this trust, strength and resilience can grow and be
nurtured. This new edited text explores the breadth, depth and
skills of these trained healthcare practitioners providing play for
babies, children, young people and adults, and places the power of
play squarely at the centre of most clinical settings. Its starting
point of the theory that underpins practice is explored and
developed through a combination of reflective essays, case study
chapters from the UK and around the world, and the newly emerging
use of play in diverse settings. Drawing on the collective work of
over 30 play specialists, child life specialists, play service
managers, lecturers and researchers, this book is unique in all it
offers to paediatric practitioners and settings, in training and in
practice. It is an important resource for healthcare play
specialists, playworkers, children's nurses, occupational
therapists and more.
