An updated take on a fundamental decision-making framework, this practical guide explores the dimensions of play therapy and how they apply to today’s practitioner. In-depth case studies illustrate the interplay between theory and practice, demonstrating an integrative case conceptualization approach. Scales have been updated to reflect current best practice and developments in the field, and combine with the core decision-making framework for a deeper, expanded use of the model. New chapters delve into parent work and case conceptualization utilizing observational and self-reflective forms. Downloadable video content brings the text to life, including a new video illustrating the essentials of consultation with parents.
The interface between practitioner and client also takes centre stage. New sections on self-reflection and cultural sensitivity guide you through ways to foster a welcoming, compassionate environment throughout your practice.
Whether you’re a seasoned play therapist or just starting out, this fresh take on the dimensions of play therapy will foster self-reflection of the who, what, when, why, and how of play therapy.
