• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Involving parents in a child's play therapy results in therapy that is more productive for the child and more fulfilling and effective for the parents and therapist. Yet, encouraging parental involvement can be riddled with practical and theoretical concerns for beginning therapists and seasoned practitioners alike. Linking Parents to Play Therapy is a practical guide containing essential information for play therapists, including: coverage of legal and medical issues; pragmatic assignments for parents; guidelines for working with angry and resistant parents; a listing of state protective and advocacy agencies; tips for working with managed care. Numerous case examples, professional forms, and a parenting guide facilitate application of the concepts. Combining theoretical understanding with a variety of techniques, this book makes working with parents possible, practical, and productive.
