The seven case studies in this volume provide a detailed account of play therapy undertaken with children and an adolescent, all of whom experienced emotional problems and/or varying forms of abuse. Through the narrative form of the individual case studies, details of the children's therapeutic progress are given, which are then used to inform discussion of wider practical and theoretical issues. These issues include communicating with young children, working with silent children, restoring a child's normal developmental trajectory within play therapy, and the roles of race, gender and power in play therapy.
Non-directive play therapy with emotionally damaged children; Susan - beginning play therapy; Patrick - from concrete to symbolic play; Diane - repairing and creating identity; Anna - a silent communication; a child without support; Patricia - reqorking abusive experiences in adolescence; Ben - a therapeutic assessment for the court.
