Synopsis

Officially endorsed by The TheraplayŽ Institute, this handbook builds on the core concepts of TheraplayŽ and explores innovative ways to integrate the approach with other therapeutic models for diverse settings and client groups.
The book features chapters on the neurobiology of TheraplayŽ, Tele-Theraplay, and men in TheraplayŽ, as well as advice for working with traumatized children, neurodivergent children, intergenerational trauma, and homelessness. Throughout the handbook, you'll be encouraged to challenge the limits of your practice and discover new ways to approach challenges using techniques rooted in extensive research-based evidence. Contributions from a wide variety of specialists create a rich tapestry of expertise, providing practical recommendations for integrating TheraplayŽ with other modalities to give clients the best support for their unique needs.
Essential reading for TheraplayŽ trainees, play therapy practitioners, and professionals working with children, this guide explains the practical applications of cutting-edge research and provides a flexible, effective approach to your practice.
