Product Description
The author discusses the use of play therapy for children with behavioral, emotional or other psychological problems. The bulk of the text consists of highly readable annotated transcripts of therapeutic sessions that illustrate the principles. The transcripts are authentic, and the annotations include comments on errors the therapist makes, as well as positive points. No other book comes near this one for readability and clinical credibility.

From the Inside Flap
“The most brilliant and intuitive, as well as the clearest written, work in this field. It is unpretentious yet clearly the most authoritative work that has been published.”

NORMAN CAMERON, Ph.D.
Professor of Psychiatry
Yale University School of Medicine
Here is an intensely practical book that gives specific illustrations of how therapy can be implemented in play contacts, and tells how the toys of the playroom can be vivid performers and aids in growth. As she did with DIBS IN SEARCH OF SELF, Dr. Axline has taken true case histories from the rich mine of verbatim case material of children referred for play therapy, choosing children ranging in age, problem, and personality. It’s all here in an important and rewarding book for parents, teachers, and anyone who comes in contact with children. –This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.
