This book is one of my favorites...so many play therapy interventions to choose from for so many issues. A mainstay of our practiceAssessment and Treatment Activities for Children, Adolescents, and Families: Practitioners Share Their Most Effective TechniquesCreative Interventions for Troubled Children & YouthMore Creative Interventions for Troubled Children and Youth

There are a lot of really good, creative ideas in this book. The one thing I wish was added was just a quick statement at the begining of each activity that identifies what age group and what general problem the activity is most appropriate for. Such information allows me to decide, right away, whether to invest the time in reading further about the activity if I think it would be relavent to a particular child I am working with.

This book is an invaluable resource for therapists and counselors seeking creative techniques to use with children. Readers may also be interested in the following books:

Creative Therapy With Children & Adolescents (Practical Therapist Series)

This is an invaluable book, especially for people who are just starting out and want a few techniques up their sleeve for sessions. It could also be good for therapists who have been around for a while but want to shake things up a bit. Great interventions by many respected practitioners in play therapy. Worth the money!

This book is a wonderful tool to use in developing groups for children and adolescents. Some of the activities are therapeutic in and of themselves, and others are useful for generating discussion on a number of topics. Innovative and easy to follow, I highly reccomend this book.

A treasure trove of play therapy techniques to use with children in a variety of settings. Highly recommended. I also recommend the books below:
