Illustrating the power of play for helping children overcome a wide

toolkit of play therapy approaches and techniques. Coverage

well as anxiety disorders and posttraumatic problems. Leading
practitioners describe their approaches step by step and share
vivid illustrative case material. Each chapter also summarizes the
research base for the interventions discussed. Key topics include
adapting therapy to each child's developmental level, engaging

Children ages 6-12 undergo major developmental changes. During this
period, known as middle childhood, they develop a more advanced
sense of self, emotion regulation skills, and self-confidence. They
become less dependent on their parents and learn to form
connections with peers. They also learn to follow rules and reach
achievements through sustained effort. Because of these social,
emotional, and cognitive developments, play therapy with these
children looks different than with younger children. This book
helps therapists provide developmentally appropriate, effective
play therapy for children in middle childhood. It presents a broad
range of play interventions, showing how play therapy can be used
with school-age children and their parents to address internalizing
disorders, externalizing disorders, relational deficits, and autism
spectrum disorder. For each intervention presented, the authors
explain the theory and research supporting it and provide an
illustrative case example. Readers will learn to choose treatment
goals and strategies that are informed by the child's developmental
needs.
