Multicultural Play Therapy fills a wide gap in the play therapy
literature. Each chapter helps expand play therapists' cultural
awareness, humility, and competence so they can work more
effectively with children of diverse cultures, races, and belief
systems. The unique perspectives presented here provide play
therapists and advanced students with concrete information on how
to broach issues of culture in play therapy sessions, parent
consultations, and in the play therapy field at large. The book
includes chapters on multiple populations and addresses the myriad
cultural background issues that emerge in play therapy, and the
contributors include authors from multiple races, ethnicities,
cultural worldviews, and orientations.
Playful Education provides a guide for you to activate the powers
of play to boost your teaching practices and increase your
effectiveness as an educator. Based on Virginia Axline and Garry
Landreth's play therapy, this book is an operational and practical
guide on using play therapy to strengthen your holistic learning
development and relationships with students. Chapters offer
practical responsive interventions for children with behavioral and
academic challenges and preventative practices. You will learn the
purpose and goals of implementing play times, (i.e., PlayBreaks),
with individuals and groups of students, skills necessary to
facilitate playtimes, and how to transfer play skills to the larger
classroom. Educators will learn the foundations of play therapy and
how they can be used to guide play within a classroom setting.
Expanding beyond the classroom, this book is loaded with playful
activities to enhance child-teacher relationships and integrate
play throughout the school.

A Therapist's Guide to Child Development gives therapists and
counselors the basics they need to understand their clients in the
context of development and to explain development to parents. The
chapters take the reader through the various physical, social, and
identity developments occurring at each age, explaining how each
stage of development is closely linked to mental health and how
that is revealed in therapy. This ideal guide for students, as well
as early and experienced professionals, will also give readers the
tools to communicate successfully with the child's guardians or
teachers, including easy-to-read handouts that detail what kind of
behaviors are not cause for concern and which behaviors mean it's
time to seek help. As an aid to practitioners, this book matches
developmental ages with appropriate, evidence-based mental health
interventions.
This is an easy-to-use reference to the most effective play therapy
techniques and their substantiated results. Play therapy is not an
approach based on guess, trial and error, or whims of the therapist
at the moment. It is a well-thought-out, philosophically conceived,
developmentally based, and research-supported method of helping
children cope with and overcome the problems they experience in the
process of living their lives. Concise digests of play therapy
procedures explore the most difficult, as well as the most common
problems encountered by play therapists. These digests cover play
therapy approaches based on a variety of theoretical positions for
dealing with a broad range of specific problems. Because they often
do not have access to substantiated results, play therapists
sometimes doubt themselves and the effectiveness of their work.
This book, an invaluable resource, puts an end to such questioning.
