The book invites readers into the world of child psychotherapy and into the play therapy room. It equips them to explore, discover and identify the Therapeutic Powers of Play (TPoP) in action, within traditional and nature-based therapeutic environments. Using Embodiment-Projective-Role (EPR), it navigates the developmental stages linking play and the achievement of physical, emotional, and social identity. With captivating stories of hope and repair, the book deconstructs the therapy process to better understand how play facilitates communication, fosters emotional wellness, increases personal strengths, and enhances social relationships. This comprehensive text will help the therapist navigate through the world of child and adolescent psychotherapy and explain the therapeutic powers of play through relevant clinical case studies"-- UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9780429323942 UR - http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf ER -
