I read this book for an intro to play therapy course I took. It was a great introduction to the field. It is clear that Landreth has lots of experience and is passionate about play therapy. He did a great job informing me, a new counselor, how to use play therapy effectively and tips for some of the more common problems in the play room. I gave it four stars, instead of 5, because at times it felt really repetitive.
I love the use of the simplified yet descriptive language. I needed this book for a play therapy course, and it has opened up my mind to an assortment of wonder, insight, and information. While reading, I could feel the author's passion for children and play therapy. I found the ENTIRE book to be useful. I like that it is written from a humanistic, child-centered orientation. I think that this book, along with Virginia M. Axline's 1947 "Play Therapy", are essentials to any person that is trying to learn the basics of play therapy.
If you work with young children, or with adolescents who are not good at talk therapy...this book helps you understand how play reaches children. You can't help a child or adolescent heal if you can't build relationship.
Great book, essential for anyone working with children.Bought this book after a friend told me that his supervisor recommended it and it transformed the way I work with children.This book is amazingly easy to read while providing a wealth of information.
Good introduction to play therapy. Anyone who is interested in play therapy should utilize this book to provide a solid foundation.
This book is very good! For some who work with children is good guidebook for approach to every child. Autor is very successful in his work and in teaching other therapist. Vocabulary is very simple and it is easy to understand for beginners!
Landreth is the king of child-centered play therapy. He takes Rogers' basic theories and translates them into the language of play therapy. His writing is reader-friendly, easy to understand, and held my interest.
This book omits the jargon and drudge of a standard text book and presents each section in an easy to read and enjoyable format. A great book for the beginner in non-directive child centered play therapy. It covers every aspect that a professional starting out needs to know and gives guidance to the many difficult situations that may arise.
