The long-awaited revision of the only book on game play available
for mental health professionals
Not only is play a pleasurable, naturally occurring behavior found
in humans, it is also a driving force in our development. As
opposed to the unstructured play often utilized in psychotherapy,
game playing invokes more goal-directed behavior, carries the
benefits of interpersonal interaction, and can perform a
significant role in the adaptation to one’s environment.
This landmark, updated edition of Game Play explores the advantages
of using games in clinical- and school-based therapeutic
interventions with children and adolescents. This unique book shows
how playing games can promote socialization, encourage the
development of identity and self-esteem, and help individuals
master anxiety-while setting the stage for deeper therapeutic
intervention in subsequent sessions.
