    Do you want to understand how to talk and listen to people, including your own kids? This book is helpful. It puts things simply without getting dry and long. It's easy to skip around in and engages the reader. It helped me to re-realize that frequently, people do not understand how to listen and communicate with others, including myself. "Play Therapy" is something to which most can relate.

    I love the use of the simplified yet descriptive language. I needed this book for a play therapy course, and it has opened up my mind to an assortment of wonder, insight, and information. While reading, I could feel the author's passion for children and play therapy. I found the ENTIRE book to be useful. I like that it is written from a humanistic, child-centered orientation. I think that this book, along with Virginia M. Axline's 1947 "Play Therapy", are essentials to any person that is trying to learn the basics of play therapy.

    When I reviewed the 2002 edition of this book, I described it as a clearly written pactical guide to "pure" non-directive/child-centred play therapy technique. Its focus on practice was its great strength, as it was virtually unique in actually describing, in detail, techniques for communicating and being with children in a therapeutic session.

    This new edition has lost none of its practical content, and has added a chapter on research evidence.

    Curiously, though, it remains the case that it does not include any material on early attachment experiences and brain development. In light of the massive expansion in understanding and practice that has occurred in this field in the last decade, this is a significant weakness.

    For the practitioner, a second obvious weakness is the absence of any discussion of when other approaches might be more appropriate, and when one might have to move towards more directive activities.

    Nevertheless, this is a significant updating, and it remains an indispensible guide for the child centred therapist.

    I read this book for an intro to play therapy course I took. It was a great introduction to the field. It is clear that Landreth has lots of experience and is passionate about play therapy. He did a great job informing me, a new counselor, how to use play therapy effectively and tips for some of the more common problems in the play room. I gave it four stars, instead of 5, because at times it felt really repetitive.

Description

Play Therapy: The Art of the Relationship is the newest incarnation of Garry Landreth’s comprehensive text on creating therapeutic relationships with children through play. It details the Child-Centered Play Therapy model, which stresses the importance of understanding the child’s world and perspective. This approach facilitates the play therapy process while allowing therapist and client to fully connect. Professors who have taught a course based on the previous edition will be pleased to find the core message intact, but updated with a significant body of recent research. Expanded to cover additional topics of interest, the new edition includes:

 

  • a full chapter on current research in play therapy
  • new sections on supervising play therapists, legal and ethical issues and multicultural concerns
  • 30 new photographs that show the author demonstrating techniques in-session
  • practical tips for working with parents
  • instructions on play room set-up and materials
  • online instructor resources.

The Third Edition will feel both familiar and fresh to educators and trainers who have relied on Landreth’s text for years. The guidelines, transcripts, and case examples offered help therapists govern sensitive issues at every stage of the therapeutic process, from the first meeting to the end of the relationship.
