Child Play by Peter Slade
This comprehensive book explores theories and practice of play. It suggests that media influences have a profound effect on behaviour, and by stressing the importance of understanding play as a chart of development, and drawing links between home, school, clinics and therapy, he offers the prospect of an understanding of delinquency and difficulty.
Peter Slade (1912-2004) was a pioneer in the field of theatre for children and was also known as an expert in work for those with special needs.
