"This book is pervaded by a sense of hope and an overriding belief in the 'healing power of play.' I was moved by the case examples and by McMahon's sense of compassion and empathy for the children whose stories are recorded in this book. I would highly recommend it to anyone considering play therapy as a career or to those already practicing." - Jackie Townsend, Counselling Children and Young People, September 2009praise for the first edition:"…essential reading for all those who purport to practice play therapy." – British Journal of Occupational Therapy"A Handbook like this is an excellent idea for other workers who want to help disturbed children but don’t know where to start." – Nicholas Tucker, The Times Educational Supplement
