Integrating Expressive Arts and Play Therapy with Children and Adolescents
"With this book Drs. Green and Drewes have filled an important void in the Play Therapy literature, namely the integration of the expressive arts in play therapy with children and adolescents. They have assembled the best theorists and practitioners of the Expressive Arts and given them an appropriate structure to write their chapters. The book is outstanding and provides the readers with in-depth case studies, detailed methodologies, research findings and is a useful resource for further training options. I recommend this book most highly for trainers, practitioners and graduate students."
