Child-centered play therapy: a practical guide to developing therapeutic relationships with children

The practice of play therapy, the most widely utilized methodology of mental health services for children, has experienced a remarkable period of growth since the 1980s. (The Association for Play Therapy, founded in the early 1980s, has grown to nearly 5000 members and over 40 state chapters). Yet, currently there is no reference available covering the work of Louise Guerney, a foundingfigure in child-centered play therapy, the most widely researched and frequently implemented form of play therapy. Complete with a foreword from Dr. Guerney, this approachable, skills-based core textbook will fill that need and be a welcome resource for the thousands of practitioners trained in the Guerney method, and students-in-training.
