'A unique addition to the clinical literature. The contributors provide insightful theoretical and case-based discussions of children struggling with very real - and very contemporary - trauma - related issues.

'The scope of this book is enormous! Chapters include practical information regarding the treatment of children who have survived a wide range of traumatic events. Going beyond the basic principles of play therapy, the volume covers such far-reaching topics as differential diagnosis, trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy for children, and the vicarious traumatization experienced by clinicians.
