Short-Term Play Therapy for Children

by Heidi Gerard Kaduson (Editor)

Play therapy can be enormously beneficial to children facing a wide range of psychological problems and stressful life situations. This practical volume presents a variety of play approaches that facilitate children's healing in a shorter time frame. Ideal for practitioners working within managed care, the book describes effective short-term methods for working with individual children, families, and groups. Chapters feature session-by-session guidelines and lively clinical illustrations that bring diverse techniques and theoretical orientations to life. Strategies are provided for addressing such difficulties as fears and phobias, grief, behavior problems, ADHD, and the effects of sexual abuse. Also covered are short-term interventions for teen parents and their children, children in divorced or adoptive families, and those whose families are affected by chronic illness.

Short -Term Play Therapy for Children is a compilation of 15 different intervention modalities of play therapy. They are grouped together for Individuals, Families and Groups. If you are a play therapist, and registered with APT, there is a certificate for 10 non contact ceus offered with the purchase of the evaluation and test. The reading was enjoyable and I now have a better understanding of several interventions to use in my practice.

I really enjoyed learning about the different ways therapist and parents can help their children through different aspects in their lives. I like the case illustrations and how each section included multiple examples. It keeps my mind open to certain behaviors and indicators for future use and learning
