Rezensionen

"This fascinating and useful text expands the focus of play therapy to include children from birth to age three. It will help mental health practitioners expand their knowledge about how play influences the developing brain and about how to enhance the reciprocal parent-infant relationship. An important contribution to the growing field of infant mental health."

Nancy Boyd Webb, DSW, LICSW, RPT-S, university distinguished professor of social work emerita, Fordham University; author/editor, supervisor, speaker, consultant.

"The field of play therapy, and indeed, the entire field of infant and child psychotherapy have long been waiting for a book of this magnitude to come along! Dr. Courtney and her colleagues have weaved a coherent and comprehensive book detailing theory, practice, and the importance of play-based, attachment-informed interventions. This book truly is a gem and will inform readers for generations to come."

Clair Mellenthin, LCSW, RPT-S, director of child and adolescent services, Wasatch Family Therapy, Salt Lake City, UT and author of Attachment Centered Play Therapy.

"At a time when play is being understood for developmental mental health in all children, Janet Courtney has gathered together experts in several fields and captured the essence of play for infants, and how to incorporate play therapy into their lives as well. This is a book that should be on the shelves of all clinicians who see children of all ages."
