Play Therapy: A Psychodynamic Primer for the Treatment of Young
Children provides a contemporary, comprehensive exploration of the
theory and technique of psychoanalytically oriented play therapy,
addressing both the dearth of writings on these topics and the
frequent lack of in-depth education on the basic principles and
practice of psychodynamic play therapy offered by contemporary
training programs for child clinicians. Divided into two distinct
parts, this guide covers major theoretical issues-including the
role of play in human development, the application of basic
psychodynamic concepts to work with young children, and the impact
of contemporary techno-culture on play-and offers pragmatic
guidance on conducting play treatment and handling the complexities
of treating young patients (e.g., initiating treatment, working
with parents, managing aggression in the playroom). Among the
book's standout features are: * An abundance of clinical vignettes
that illustrate childhood behaviors, common dilemmas, and potential
therapist responses* A summary of key concepts at the end of each
chapter that underscores major takeaways and can be easily
referenced by busy clinicians* A glossary of key terms for each
chapter for added comprehensibility Offering a skillful balance of
broad but coherent foundational information as well as practical
application, Play Therapy: A Psychodynamic Primer for the Treatment
of Young Children functions both as an introduction for young
therapists and as a guide for more experienced child clinicians who
wish to expand their knowledge of play and its therapeutic
potential.
