Theraplay: Helping Parents and Children Build Better Relationships Through Attachment-Based Play, 3rd Ed

Since the second edition was published in 1999, there have been major developments and changes in Theraplay’s theory and practice. This book provides a much-needed update and revision of a classic resource for treating emotionally disturbed children with structured play therapy. The book includes new research on attachment, childhood trauma, autism, among others, and explains how new advancements in general neuroscience have changed the way Theraplay conducts its trainings. The book also contains new techniques for dealing with dysfunctional families, family disruptions, older adopted children, parental cooperation, and parental mental health.
