Relationship Play Therapy (Paperback, New)

In this work, child therapist, Clark Moustakas, demonstrates how play can be used to free children to express their tensions, conflicts and frustrations. Moustakas offers examples of children who suddenly became disturbed in their family or school life and tells how these children work out their fear and anger in just a few sessions. He also describes helping seriously disturbed children in their struggles to achieve emotional maturity, faith in themselves and respect for others. This book is aimed at anyone who works with children or their parents and includes an important chapter on preventive play therapy, which can be adapted to defuse school situations before they get out of hand.
