This book presents a new and comprehensive framework for helping children through play therapy that is set within the context of the family. This experience-based therapeutic model respectfully derives from the best roots of traditional family and play therapies. It incorporates principles of mindfulness, interpersonal neurobiology, early childhood development and family dynamics into a system that can use either spontaneous play or directed play according to need. In addition to a solid theoretical framework, this book also gives a practical description of the full range of stages from intake to closure. It provides principles and examples of effective intervention and uses a detailed case study to illustrate attributes of therapeutic engagement.
