{"product_id":"directive-play-therapy-theories-and-techniques-9780826130655","title":"Directive Play Therapy: Theories and Techniques","description":"\u003cp\u003eStructured, therapist-led approaches to play therapy are becoming increasingly popular due to their time-limited nature and efficacy for such specific disorders as trauma and attachment issues. This is the first book to provide comprehensive coverage of numerous directive play therapy techniques and interventions that are empirically validated and can be adapted for use in clinical, school, group, and family settings. Designed for both students and practitioners, the text addresses the theoretical bases for these approaches and provides in-depth, practical guidance for their use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book describes how directive play therapies differ from nondirective therapies and illustrates best practices in using directive techniques. It examines such diverse approaches as cognitive behavioral, solution focused, sensorimotor, and the use of creative arts in play therapy. Each approach is covered in terms of its theoretical foundation, research basis, specific techniques for practice, and a case example. The text describes how to adapt directive play therapy techniques for use in various contexts, such as with families, in groups, and in schools. Helpful templates for treatment planning and case documentation are also included, making the book a valuable resource for both training courses and practicing professionals in play therapy, clinical mental health counseling, child counseling, school counseling, child and family social work, marriage and family therapy, and clinical child psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelivers step-by-step guidance for using directive play therapy techniques--the first book to do so\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses theoretical basis, research support, and practical techniques for a diverse range of therapies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers varied settings and contexts including school, clinical, group, and family settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes case studies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides templates for treatment planning and case documentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elsa Soto Leggett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.13h x 6.05w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826130655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLeggett, Elsa Soto:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElsa Soto Leggett, PhD, LPC-S, RPT-S, \u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor at the CACREP-accredited program in counseling, University of Houston-Victoria, where she serves as the Chair of Education Leadership and Counseling Department and Program Coordinator of for the Counselor Education program.
