Description
Book SynopsisThis practical resource integrates family therapy theory with playful interventions and techniques to allow family therapists to successfully engage and include children in the session.
Many therapists who are trained in family therapy lack training in child-centered play techniques. This book effectively bridges the gap between popular theories and models in family therapy and the practice of working with children in a family context. Showcasing playful therapy techniques across and within each of the most common models of a family therapy such as Experiential, Structural, and Narrative Therapy, and Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), this book is accessible to a wide range of clinicians. Additionally, the author offers clear tangible interventions adaptable for both in-person and teletherapy sessions.
This book is essential reading for practicing therapists, students in training, clinical supervisors, and anyone who works with children in a therapeutic capacity.
