Reviews

This book is pervaded by a sense of hope and an overriding belief in the 'healing power of play.' I was moved by the case examples and by McMahon's sense of compassion and empathy for the children whose stories are recorded in this book. I would highly recommend it to anyone considering play therapy as a career or to those already practicing. - Jackie Townsend, Counselling Children and Young People, September 2009 praise for the first edition: !essential reading for all those who purport to practice play therapy. -- British Journal of Occupational Therapy A Handbook like this is an excellent idea for other workers who want to help disturbed children but don't know where to start. -- Nicholas Tucker, The Times Educational Supplement
