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
