"Throughout the book, case examples with dialogue are given to bring the innovations to life. Supporting research and recommendations based on the author's practical experience give the book added credibility. Although this book is best suited for individuals witha solid understanding of play therapy theory and procedures, I would highly recomment it for both play therapist in training and the experience play therapist. Readers will be refreshed and equipped withplay therapy innovations for the 21st century." -- Jennifer Baggerly, PH.D., LMHC"This timely book fills in the holes in so much of our basic play therapy training; those topics which cannot be addressed due to time limits, but which are so essential to effective play therapy practice."—Emily Oe, author of Kaleidoscope of Play Therapy Stories
