Play Therapy: The Groundbreaking Book That Has Become a Vital Tool in the Growth and Development of Children Mass market paperbound - 1981

by Virginia M. Axline


First line

THE DISTRAUGHT TEACHER hurried down to the principal's office a few agitated steps ahead of Tom, who followed with sullen resentment.

From the jacket flap

"The most brilliant and intuitive, as well as the clearest written, work in this field. It is unpretentious yet clearly the most authoritative work that has been published."
NORMAN CAMERON, Ph.D.
Professor of Psychiatry
Yale University School of Medicine
Here is an intensely practical book that gives specific illustrations of how therapy can be implemented in play contacts, and tells how the toys of the playroom can be vivid performers and aids in growth. As she did with DIBS IN SEARCH OF SELF, Dr. Axline has taken true case histories from the rich mine of verbatim case material of children referred for play therapy, choosing children ranging in age, problem, and personality. It's all here in an important and rewarding book for parents, teachers, and anyone who comes in contact with children.
