highly recommended

Packed with creative play therapy techniques

A wonderful resource for therapists seeking new and creative techniques. The book includes therapeutic games, art, stories, and other techniques developed by play therapists from across North America. The one drawback--it would be helpful to have a theoretical overview of play therapy at the beginning of the book.

Therapists who like this book and who are looking for additional books on play therapy/child counseling techniques may be interested in the following books:

A great resource for practitioners

This book offers several great ideas for play therapy. It is so important for therapists to remember that play is one of the only ways to communicate with young children. The book uses sound research and evidence from well known experts to validate claims. This book is a little 'heavy' for anyone who is not already in the world of psychotherapy. I would recommend it for therapists and educators but not for parents or laypersons.

Good to have on hand

I am giving this book the same review as it's more current version, 101 More Favorite Play Therapy Techniques. There are a lot of really good, creative ideas in this first version, just as there are in the newer version. However, the one thing that is lacking in both books is a quick statement at the begining of each activity that identifies what age group and what general problem the activity is most appropriate for. Such information allows me to decide, right away, whether to invest the time in reading further about the activity if I think it would be relavent to a particular child I am working with.

just okay

Definately not as good as the other volumes. Techniques aren't as interesting and kid friendly. If you are trying to choose, go for volume 2.

This book is an amazing resource for play therapy techniques. The contributors come from a diverse group including child-centered, cognitive-behavioral, gestalt, Jungian, psychodynamic, and prescriptive play therapy.
