Description

The leading resource on identifying children's problems throughplay therapy--completely revised The first edition of PlayDiagnosis and Assessment was the first volume of its kind toprovide a comprehensive overview of the diagnosis and assessment ofchildren through play. Over the past several years, numerouschanges within the field have encouraged the development ofimproved techniques that surpass traditional assessment protocolsand methods, such as new scales, more focused procedures, andinstruments with higher levels of reliability and validity thanhave been previously established. Now, this classic book has beenupdated to address and reflect these ongoing changes. Focusing onthe needs of the clinician, this new edition presents empiricallytested diagnostic tools and describes improvements to existing playtherapy assessment instruments, such as new testing instruments fortime-limited therapy and early intervention assessment tools foryoung children. The book is divided into six sections: * Developmental Play Assessments * Diagnostic Play Assessments * Parent-Child Interaction Play Assessments * Family Play Assessments * Peer Interaction Play Assessments * Projective Play Assessments The procedures described in each section target a variety of agesand populations, representing some of the most valuable,informative, and sensitive contributions to the field. Integratingformal research with clinical methods, Play Diagnosis andAssessment, Second Edition is the definitive resource forclinicians dedicated to the identification of children's problemsand the best ways to intervene through the lighthearted andproductive use of play therapy.
