Many therapists that are trained in family therapy lack training in child-centered play techniques. This book effectively bridges the gap between popular theories and models in family therapy and the practice of working with children in a family context. Showcasing playful therapy techniques across and within each of the most common models of a family therapy such as Experiential, Structural, and Narrative Therapy, as well as Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), this book is accessible to a wide range of clinicians. Additionally, the author offers clear tangible interventions adaptable for both in-person and teletherapy sessions.

This book is essential for practicing therapists, students in training, clinical supervisors, and anyone who works with children in a therapeutic capacity.
