Publisher's Synopsis
This is a comprehensive sourcebook of innovative techniques in the rapidly growing field of child and adolescent therapy. The emphasis is on clinical practice - and the techniques that have been proven in practice - and each is described in detail. The presentation of each procedure follows a common format. First, the historical and theoretical foundations of the technique are discussed, followed by a step-by-step account of how to carry out the process. Then illustrative examples taken from actual cases are presented. Chapters cover storytelling, imaginative play techniques, dance movement therapy, serial drawing, hypnosis, Hakomi therapy, focusing and ritual techniques, videotherapy, therapeutic use of animals, and "Life Story" books.
