Sinposis

THE BOOK HAS A VERY PERSONAL FEEL TO IT BECAUSE AMY ELIZABETH IS ADDRESSING THE READER. SHE TALKS ABOUT "KIDS LIKE US" AS IF WE ARE PART OF A GROUP AND SHE IS YOUR FRIEND. IT WAS VERY WELL SET OUT, JUST LIKE A STORY BOOK. IT HAD BEAUTIFUL PENCIL ILLUSTRATIONS THAT CHILDREN COULD RELATE TO. IT WAS A NICE SIZE, NOT TOO DAUNTING; THE SORT OF BOOK I THINK A CHILD WOULD BE HAPPY TO READ TOGETHER WITH AN ADULT. ALL IN ALL I THINK THIS WOULD BE A VERY VALUABLE RESOURCE FOR ANY PSYCHOTHERAPIST, COUNSELLOR OR SOCIAL WORKER WORKING WITH CHILDREN TO HELP THEM EXPLAIN THE PROCESS OF PLAY THERAPY.' - COUNSELLING CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE REASSURING AND ENCOURAGING, AMY ELIZABETH GOES TO PLAY THERAPY SUGGESTS THAT THERAPY WILL BE A FUN AND BENEFICIAL EXPERIENCE.

ANSWERING THE MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS IN SIMPLE, ACCESSIBLE LANGUAGE, AMY ELIZABETH GUIDES THE READER THROUGH THE EXPERIENCE OF THERAPY, DESCRIBING WHAT HAPPENS AT A PLAY THERAPY SESSION, THE REASONS WHY CHILDREN MAY NEED THERAPY, AND THE GOALS OF THE PROCESS. CHILD THERAPISTS WORKING IN A VARIETY OF FIELDS WILL FIND THIS BOOK AN INVALUABLE RESOURCE FOR SHARING WITH CHILDREN AND BUILDING A RAPPORT WITH THEM.
