Description

Play Therapy for Preschool Children is a comprehensive sourcebook of play interventions for preventing and resolving the most common disorders of children aged 3-5 years old. Chapters use case illustrations to demonstrate interventions for mild-to-moderate behavior problems, insecurely attached preschool children and children with posttraumatic issues, as well as how to use play therapy in conjunction with parent psychotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Contributors also discuss interventions for autistic and developmentally delayed children, and the use of play interventions in classroom and Parent-child settings.
