...valuable launching tool for therapists... June 20, 1998

This book beautifully facilitates the introduction of themes, into practice, that capture the emotional energy of a client in play. The book clearly provides a structure for the therapist to help the individual with the opening and closing of their emotional and psychological boundaries. In general, the techniques illustrate how the therapist is able to help the client more easily access the underlying boundary process and accept directed inputs, their way, that will help them transform poorly developed internal structures, (i.e. family of origin tapes), into healthier ones, (e.g. long held anger can be transformed into present day assertiveness). Overall, this book is a valuable launching tool for therapists considering Play Therapy as an intervention.
