The Handbook of Play Therapy by Linnet Mcmahon
Child abuse cases and problems created by breakdowns in family relationships have highlighted the need for sound techniques for communicating with children. As a result, there is renewed interest in the therapeutic use of play to help prevent or repair emotional damage in both children and their families. The Handbook of Play Therapy is a comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of play therapy. It provides a practical guide to the basic skills necessary to begin tapping the healing potential of play and gives many examples of good practice.
'This is a comprehensive, readable and jargon-free introduction to play therapyI'm sure it will be essential reading.' - Social Work Today
