Kesinlikle bu kitap çocuğunuzla oynadığınız oyunlara başka bir perspektiften bakmanızı sağlayacak. Kısa ve öz şekilde uygulamanın mantalitesini aktarmayı başarmış, içine oyun örneklerini de başarılı şekilde eklemiş. Ancak konuda derinleşmek için çocuk özelinde uzman görüş alınıp o şekilde uygulanması ihtimalini daha gerçekçi buluyorum. Hali hazırda bir sürü kitap maalesef profesyonellerin başarmasının bile zaman aldığı terapi tekniklerini ebeveynlerden beklemekte. Beklentinin kendisinde yanlış bir şey olmamakla birlikte ebeveynler başarısızlığa mahkum ediliyor gibi geliyor bana. Keşke her ebeveyn bir terapist edasıyla çocuğunun davranışlarına ya da taleplerine yaklaşabilse ancak gerçek hayatta her saniye terapist olmak terapistler için bile gerçekçi bir beklenti değil. Anın içinde kaybolunabiliyor bazen. Yazarların verdiği tüyoları içselleştirmeyi başarabilirsek belki bu kayboluş anlarını azaltabiliriz ve çocuklarımız da biz de bir nebze de olsa şifalanabiliriz bu yaklaşım değişikliklerinden.
Kitap için tek negatif yorumum çocukların bazı özellikleri hakkında aynı bilgileri defaatle paylaşmış olması. Bu kadar tekrara düşmeden başlangıçta mevcut özellikler gruplandırılıp, isimlendirilebilirdi diye düşünüyorum.
Keyifli okumalar!

This is a decent introduction for absolute beginners, but if you have heard or read anything about Theraplay before then it will be far too basic and repetitive.

This book helps me about my childhood. Its so fluent and helpful and scientific (which is so important for me). I feel that I am now able to understand my parents’ faults. I can accept their failures on me. I’ve realized more clear what I need. Thank you!

Loved the theory behind Theraplay. Appreciated the nonverbal aspects. I feel that this is realiatic and applicable in real life. I love the focus on emotional connection, as well.
