A Practical Handbook for Building the Play Therapy Relationship
ASIN: 1583913270 |
Book Description
Play is to the child what verbalization is to the adult-it is a medium for expressing feelings, exploring relationships, describing experiences and disclosing wishes. Revised and updated, this second edition of the award-winning Play Therapy: The Art of the Relationship provides comprehensive and detailed information for creating therapeutic relationships with children and facilitating the play therapy process. Guidelines, transcripts and case examples are provided for governing sensitive issues at every stage of the therapeutic process, from the first meeting to the end of the relationship.
Customer Reviews:
Extremely useful and well written.......2007-05-13
This book is a must have for any therapist working with children. It brings you into the world of the child and the means of his/her expression.
New book.......2006-07-23
Perfect condition; new book; great packaging and arrived on time. This book cost less than paying my school's book store for it and it was deliever-free!
This is THE Book for aspiring play therapists!.......2005-07-19
I was required to read the book for a class I was completing on Play therapy. It was a very easy read, well organized with a good mixture of research and anecdotal information. What makes the book a truly outstanding resource is Dr. Landreth's very candid insight into the practice of play therapy as well as his willingness to share with the reader his very sincere love and respect for children.
Clear, concise, engaging introduction to play therapy.......1997-06-24
This book is a necessary addition to any therapists library, especially those who are just beginning or are interested in knowing the foundations for therapy with children. Clearly written and well organized, it is easy to read and an invaluable reference. Highly recommended for beginning play therapists
Book Description
The Workbook which will accompany the revised second edition of The Practice of Emotionally Focused Marital Therapy,is designed to facilitate the learning and implementation of EFT by providing explicit exercises that can be utilized by students as well as clinicians looking to increase their treatment efficacy. The inclusion of therapy session transcripts, multiple choices questions and an EFT Supervision model make this an especially attractive text for couples therapy coursework.
Customer Reviews:
Over the top workbook.......2006-07-04
Be prepared to spend tons of time reading, answering multiple choice questions, hunting down answers in the back of this clumsy oversized book. It is too much of a pretty good thing. Needs reworking and a good editor to trim it down and make it more user friendly. It has more words in it than the book Becoming an Emotionally Focued Couple Therapist and duplicates lots that is in that book. They need to redo this and its companion as a set. Right now it is only the covers that go together.
Clarifying the EFT Interventions.......2006-06-18
For me, this book supplied the logical missing piece after finishing the EFT Externship and beginning the supervision process. The book enabled me to reinforce on my own and at my own pace the steps, stages and interventions that I learned in the group context. Using this valuable tool, I was able to slow down and clarify the parts of the model which had been unclesr to me previously. The chapter on Impasses in EFT was an especially nice bonus. This book was the most valuable EFT book I have used thus far. Well worth the price. Paula Zerfoss, LCSW

Book Description
This practical resource demonstrates how all clinicians can broaden and enhance their work with children by integrating drawing into therapy. The book enables therapists to address the multidimensional aspects of children's art without resorting to simplistic explanations. Approaching drawing as a springboard for communication and change, Malchiodi offers a wealth of guidelines for understanding the intricate messages embedded in children's drawings and in the art-making process itself. Topics covered include how to assist children in making art, what questions to ask and when, and how to motivate children who are initially resistant to drawing. Assimilating extensive research and clinical experience, the book includes over 100 examples of children's work.
Customer Reviews:
Art and Place Attachment.......2006-11-10
I found this book to be very helpful in understanding the symbolism of children's drawings. I am working on a PhD, with a focus on place attachment and children, and found loads of very useful information in this book for interpreting children's drawings about their homes, communities, etc. I am in the process of reading several books about children's drawings and how to interpret, but have found this one to be one of the most useful to date.
The best book on children's drawings in the last decade.......2002-04-18
Bravo to this author for bringing together a wealth of material on children's drawings in a clear and readable way. Professionals as well as lay people will enjoy this book; I recommend it to parents also. Pictures are marvelous!
Very helpful.......2000-03-08
I have recently completed the book in question and found it extremely helpful. It provided the basics that I can build on to understand children's drawings and perhaps children in general. I,at least have a fundamental idea of what to look for and how to interpret what is presented to me by a child. This book will not make one an over night expert on children's drawing (that takes time) but it does provide simple and understandable direction.

Post-It's have taken over cause I bookmarked too many pages........2003-05-06
I own and use this book so often in my Art Therapy groups that this book is flooded with Post It notes. I do adapt most of the activity suggestions to make them fit each client population. The book is flexible and could be applied to youth, teen, or adult/senior populations. It is written and indexed in an easy-to-read manner based on the mode of therapy practiced. The suggestions themselves are general enough however do conveniently elaborate with bullet-marked suggestions for different ways to try out the various activities. So if you think you've worked with clay, perhaps you have not written an acoustic poem about it and then created an environment for the sculpture, etc. Several variations and ideas were new and fresh. Great book for the novice or for the seasoned professional who needs some help getting new ideas sparked up and fueled; a quick, easy (and relatively inexpensive) A.T. reference.
It's worth enough to read.......2000-06-27
I'm Thai student of MA program in counseling psychology. I'm also a prationer of creative arts therapy. I found that this book is quite useful for the beginner of art therapy. This book offers many activities, exercises and games which you could adapt it in your own work. So I recommend you to have this book as your material.
In between.......2000-03-02
Unlike the first 2 reviews of this book, my opinion falls somewhere in between. While this is not the most comprehensive or profound book on art therapy, it is a practical guide for practitioners who need lots of ideas for group activities. How well they work depends on the skills and insight of the group leader, as well as the readiness of the group participants. One of my art therapy students bought this book recently and found it quite useful. For the more advanced practitioner, it might feel a bit too much like a recipe book. I recommend it as one tool in your art therapy toolbox.

This is a great book and very helpful if you practice art therapy as I do. I especially like how she has given special consideration to all kinds of groups, it's not just an abstract manual. Referred to it by a colleague, I would recommend it also.

Managing Traumatic Stress Through Art: Drawing from the Center
ASIN: 1572308095 |
Book Description
This essential handbook provides a complete and practical overview of art therapy: how it works, how it can be used, and with whom. Demonstrated are interventions for children, adolescents, and adults facing a variety of clinical problems and life challenges. Case-based chapters from leading practitioners illuminate major theoretical perspectives, including psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, developmental, and other approaches. Also examined is what current research in psychology and neuroscience can tell us about the scientific basis for art therapy. Discussing applications in individual psychotherapy, couple and family treatment, and group work, the Handbook includes over 100 samples of drawings and other artwork. The process of art therapy is illustrated in helping clients manage and cope with such problems as trauma, sexual abuse, developmental and learning disabilities, drug and alcohol misuse, serious mental illness, and medical illness. Appendices include descriptions of empirically supported approaches to art-based assessment, some of which are written by the instrument developers themselves.

finally, a readable and up-to-date book for professionals.......2003-05-30
As a recent counseling graduate (PhD), I was always put off by the art therapy books on the market. They were all so poorly written and talked about antiquated theories of counseling and therapy. Now, finally there is a wonderfully readable text and I am glad to have found it as I begin work with clients. This book is for anyone who is interested in using art in their work with adults, children, adolescents, and groups-- there are helpful chapters on trauma, medical issues, autism, ADHD, etc. There are also sections on art therapy assessments that are very well written and concise.
This is the state-of-the-art art therapy book for your counseling, psychology, or art therapy library. Also, if you are a beginner, see Malchiodi's Art Therapy Sourcebook, another readable volume.
Book Description
Introduction to Counseling provides an overview of counseling and the helping professions from the perspective of art and science.
The second edition has been reorganized into three sections: An overview of counseling and the counseling process; developing a personal approach to counseling from a multicultural perspective; and special approaches and settings. The book stays true to its original focus by using the concept of art and science as a unifying theme. The new edition also revisits the topics of multicultural counseling and diversity issues such as gender, culture, and sexual orientation in each chapter, communicating how multiculturalism can be integrated into all aspects of counseling rather than being viewed as a separate entity.
For anyone interested in counseling and related issues.

This book is a wonderful tool to use in developing groups for children and adolescents. Some of the activities are therapeutic in and of themselves, and others are useful for generating discussion on a number of topics. Innovative and easy to follow, I highly reccomend this book.
