Effective clinical practice requires a thorough understanding of how turning points surface in the play therapy process. These moments can indicate a change in a child’s thought or behaviour. The play therapist is the facilitator of these moments and this book will provide guidance on how they can promote these moments.
This edited collection demonstrates successful implementation of the author’s proven Play Therapy Dimensions Model. Each chapter uses this framework, as well as other theories, to discuss the markers that can reflect shifts and growth in a child’s development. Full of applied guidance, this book will prove to be invaluable for practitioners, instructors and students.
