This book conveys the flexibility of the Theraplay model both in its application to diverse populations and the ease with which it can be integrated with other approaches. This is a book to take down from the shelf and dip into. New insights will be found each time it is revisited.
A game-changer for practitioners! Theraplay ® - Innovations and Integration expanded my clinical imagination. Inspires and motivates to further center Theraplay® in my work with children and families.
A great addition to existing Theraplay titles from JKP. Exploring not only the history of Theraplay this book charts its integration with other therapeutic models, with many examples of vibrant innovative practice.
Ann Jernberg, founder of Theraplay and The Theraplay Institute, author of the 1979 seminal book on Theraplay, would be thrilled to know how Theraplay integrates with so many other therapeutic modalities.
A refreshing new look at Theraplay from different perspectives and philosophies, and in combination with other therapies such as music therapy, dramatherapy and family therapy. A must-read for any playful therapist!
