various theories of play and demonstrates how it serves
communicative, developmental, and relational functions,
highlighting the importance and development of the capacity to play
in terms useful to early childhood educators. The book explicitly
links trauma, development, and interventions in the early childhood
classroom specifically for teachers of young children, offering
accessible information that can help teachers better understand the
meanings of children's expressive acts. Contributors from
education, psychoanalysis, and developmental psychology explore
techniques of play, how cultural influences affect how children
play, the effect of trauma on play, factors that interfere with the
ability to play, and how to apply these ideas in the classroom.
They also discuss the relevance of ideas about playfulness for
teachers and other professionals. The Imprtance of Play in Early
Childhood Education will be of great interest to teachers,
psychoanalysts, and psychotherapists as well as play therapists and
developmental psychologists.

Play with structure board games is developmentally appropriate for
latency-age children but is seldom discussed in the child therapy
literature or seen as therapeutically useful. This book describes
ways that structured board games can reveal the internal
psychodynamic working of the child and can be understood as
projective material. Clinical examples of children's play reveal
parallels between their dramatic and their board-game play. Both
show unconscious content, defensive needs, and interpersonal and
transferential relationships. As therapists, we can search for the
same underlying dynamics we would look for in these other symbolic
expressions."This book also discusses a child's developmental
changes and how the dramatic, magical play of childhood is replaced
by the structured, rule-oriented play of the middle years.
Therapists must sensitively follow hem in this development, rather
than force them to continue the more regressed play of childhood or
push them prematurely into the verbal world of adolescents and
adults. Children's Use Of Board Games in Psychotherapy demonstrates
ways to work with the material which children give us at this
stage, even when expressed in the form of structured games.
