The techniques can be used when working with children, families, and groups. black and white photos of materials and children’s drawings are included. The book’s readership includes clinical and school psychologists, play therapists, expressive arts therapists, child psychiatrists, social workers, counselors, and graduate students. This second edition contains new chapters on EMDR and art therapy, the use of body maps with dissociative clients, sand tray and clay play, and music therapy.
