101 Favorite Play Therapy Techniques (Volume 1) (Child Therapy)

As a psychologist reacquainting myself with the child therapy literature, this volume gives a good overview of many creative approaches to working with children.

I am giving this book the same review as it's more current version, 101 More Favorite Play Therapy Techniques. There are a lot of really good, creative ideas in this first version, just as there are in the newer version. However, the one thing that is lacking in both books is a quick statement at the begining of each activity that identifies what age group and what general problem the activity is most appropriate for. Such information allows me to decide, right away, whether to invest the time in reading further about the activity if I think it would be relavent to a particular child I am working with.

I love this book. It’s so helpful and it breakdown the rationale on the technique.

This book has helped alot of with my transition working with latency aged kids. I use this book all the time with some clients and only as a back up with others. You should find it really helpful.

This book is a must for therapists working with kids. It has many good and simple ideas that are very useful with kids.

This book is full of really helpful, creative ideas that could be easily used with children in PlayTherapy. It's a good way of looking outside to box to see what other outlets can be used.

Great techniques for an array of issues

great book to use for child play therapy

Simple and clear!
