Routledge International Handbook of Play, Therapeutic Play and Play
Therapy is the first book of its kind to provide an overview of key
aspects of play and play therapy, considering play on a continuum
from generic aspects through to more specific applied and
therapeutic techniques and as a stand-alone discipline. Presented
in four parts, the book provides a unique overview of, and ascribes
equal value to, the fields of play, therapeutic play, play in
therapy and play therapy. Chapters by academics, play
practitioners, counsellors, arts therapists and play therapists
from countries as diverse as Japan, Cameroon, India, the Czech
Republic, Israel, USA, Ireland, Turkey, Greece and the UK explore
areas of each topic, drawing links and alliances between each. The
book includes complex case studies with children, adolescents and
adults in therapy with arts and play therapists, research with
children on play, work in schools, outdoor play and play therapy,
animal-assisted play therapy, work with street children and play in
therapeutic communities around the world. Routledge International
Handbook of Play, Therapeutic Play and Play Therapy demonstrates
the centrality of play in human development, reminds us of the
creative power of play and offers new and innovative applications
of research and practical technique. It will be of great interest
to academics and students of play, play therapy, child development,
education and the therapeutic arts. It will also be a key text for
play and creative arts therapists, both in practice and in
training, play practitioners, social workers, teachers and anyone
working with children.
