Personal Process in Child-Centred Play Therapy provides a very
specific exploration of the play therapy process from the personal
perspective of the play therapist. This volume examines the
personal challenges, opportunities, losses and gains, and numerous
obstacles that one has to negotiate through the course of both
training to become a play therapist and working as a qualified
clinician with children who have complex life difficulties. The
book aims to offer a forum within which the role, function and
process of the "personal" within play therapy can be explored.
Bringing together a number of experienced play therapists, the book
shares often deeply personal accounts of their experience of
training and clinical practice. Chapters challenge the unspoken
therapist taboos of shame, childhood trauma, vulnerability and
grief, shining a light on the more hidden areas of therapist
experience. Clinical issues around the unconscious process are also
explored, but once again from the personal position of the play
therapist, rather than the child. With a unique and distinct
perspective on the therapeutic process, this book is specifically
intended for both trainee and experienced play therapists, but will
be relevant to all psychotherapists involved in working
therapeutically with children and young people.
