Foundations of Play Therapy

This book is a good one to pick up for anyone who is either in training to become or is a therapist looking to continue their education in the area. My area of focus is not in children, however, as many of us know you inevitably do some types of family work over the course of your career. This book gave wonderful background, examples, and case examples of techniques. It is a quick and easy read. For those persons who have children at home it is even a nice hint in how to handle some issues that may arise.
By Kathleen Lavery
This is an excellent reference text for viewing various models of play therapy. I use it as an additional text in a course I teach called Counseling the Distressed Child. It serves to help see how various pratitioners of different models of play therapy would work with children and families.
