The Administrative Challenges of (Play) Therapy brings together
essays by eight therapists who tell the stories their career paths
in the fields of social work and psychology, specializing in
children and family therapy . Each author comments on issues such
as professional expenses, referrals, case load, the “Play
Room”, and administrative responsibilities. They provide insight
into their work as clinicians and administrators in private
practice, in-home, agency, and educational settings. In addition to
the settings in which they practice, they also discuss the
diversity of modalities they use, with a focus on Play Therapy,
School-Based Therapy, and Child-Parent interaction. They also
discuss their personal journeys in their roles as parents and
professionals and the challenges of both. These therapists also
outline the many certification programs and licenses available in
the field and new modalities available in therapy today. In all
essays, the therapist examine their goals, passions, and commitment
to assisting children and families who have experienced trauma,
violence, learning disabilities and substance abuse, and more.
The eleven members of the Bradley family are clannishly close and
solidly unified. At least they are until the oldest son, Thomas,
breathes the name of Texas. When the family, in 1822, leaves the
mountains of Kentucky for the wildness of what is northern Mexico,
the matriarch, Elizabeth, climbs aboard the wagon nurturing a
seething anger toward her son and her husband, Edward. In
stonefaced silence, she feeds her bitterness mile after plodding
mile. It takes her sister-in-law, Polly Boone Bradley, to make
Elizabeth appreciate what she has rather than grieve for what she
is losing. In time, as she sees her nine children thrive, Elizabeth
comes to accept the raw new country, but it will be tragedy that
finally gives her the heart of a Texan. When Letty, the headstrong
seventh Bradley child, falls in love with her brother's partner,
Brax Hall, and marries him, it seems a perfect union. And so it is
in spite of Brax's older brother, Warren. Rich, educated and
politically influential, Warren is also narcissistically
self-absorbed. He allows nothing, nor anyone, to stand in the way
of what he wants. A chain of events, triggered by Warren, forces
Letty to leave her beloved family, and Texas, in order to protect
her son. For seven years, she must call the Louisiana bayou country
home, but, just as trouble forced her out of Texas, trouble gives
her no choice but to return. Her fear begins as soon as she crosses
the Sabine River, and it grows with each mile the wagon bumps east
along the La Bahia Road.
