“Clarity, guidance and inspiration are treasures that this book provides for those working with children. This tool box of useful interventions comes with complete directions for use with individuals, children, groups and families. This book will be a treasured, well used reference book that will not likely be loaned to others.” Beverly James, author of Treating Traumatized Children and Handbook for Treatment of Attachment-Trauma Problems in Children
“Paris Goodyear-Brown takes items that are familiar and appealing to children, such as marshmallows, magnifying glasses, and even umbrellas, and uses them as “props” to captivate and engage children and help them work through their treatment issues. This book is a must-have for therapists seeking to add new and innovative play therapy techniques to their repertory.” Liana Lowenstein, MSW, CPT-S, author of Creative Interventions for Troubled Children and Youth
