Profiles Of Play Assessing And Observing Structure And Process In Play Therapy [Paperback]

Written by a child psychologist, this practical text provides a template for interpreting change and meaning in children's lives through their play activity. It shows how each child's pattern of play has a distinct profile of measurable features. These can be identified - and can be used to assess the child's development. The processes of change that a child goes through and the different kinds of play profiles are illustrated with examples from real life. The volume should be a useful resource for professionals who work with children and are looking to support their development through a deeper understanding of their inner experiences, including family therapists, educational psychologists, special needs teachers, play therapists and child care social workers.
