Rezensionen
"This is a fully comprehensive manual on child-centered play therapy (CCPT ) for trainers, students, and practitioners! The authors provide not only a treasure of information on the CCPT approach but also myriad case examples, learning activities, and practical exercises within each chapter. For trainers, this expands and solidifies the essential CCPT skills for their students, ensuring this approach is practical and fully applicable. The structure of the book matches the developmental nature of training, enabling the pace of personal development and self-understanding to scaffold and consolidate learning. The second edition provides a new chapter covering updated research outcomes, cultural competence, and intersections with neuroscience. This timely addition makes this book a top choice for CCPT trainers, their students, and for practitioners both novice and experienced." Judi Jacobsen, MNZAC, founding director of ChildPlayWorks





"Child-Centered Play Therapy is a theory- and research-based practical guide for learning fundamental play therapy skills such as tracking and responding to questions. It includes chapters that address alternative play therapy skills, such as filial therapy, and essential accountability skills for working in organizations, such as evaluating and reporting progress, goal setting, and treatment planning. Ethical issues in play therapy are woven throughout the text and in a dedicated chapter on the topic. The text is a well-balanced integration of theory, research and practice on play therapy." Joanne Cohen, PhD, professor of counseling education and student affairs, Kutztown University

"I have used various textbooks over the years to teach students the core skills of child-centered play therapy. This has been in both face-to-face settings and online courses. While many texts do a fine job of presenting the basic skills of child-centered play therapy, Child-Centered Play Therapy meets every item on my checklist, reducing the supplemental readings that I used to provide. The clear, understandable writing, the firm foundation of the core skills and ideal qualities of the therapist, and the helpful advice from seasoned play therapists has made this book a delight to use in teaching students child-centered play therapy. From suggested reading material in the waiting room for parents, to toy selection, to clear examples of how to respond to the child, to getting at the heart of the matter, this book has it all." Harvey Payne, PsyD, associate professor, dean, and vice president for academic affairs for digital learning at the Institute for the Psychological Sciences, Divine Mercy University
