Play and Creativity in Psychotherapy

by Terry Marks-Tarlow, Daniel J. Siegel, Marion F. Solomon

Through play, as children, we learn the rules and relationships of culture and expand our tolerance of emotions—areas of life "training" that overlap with psychotherapy. Here leading writers illuminate what play and creativity mean for the healing process at any stage of life.

Reviews

[Sebastian]

Erbjuder några väldigt viktiga perspektiv om lekens betydelse för barnets utveckling och hur man kan främja fortsättandet av lek i vuxen ålder. En liten kritik är att boken endast stundtals beskriver processer i psykoterapi, där många av kapitlen istället handlar om lek och kreativitet på ett mer generellt plan.

[LRKK]

The entries are too spotty to make this an easy recommendation. Terrific essays by Victoria Steven, Lou Cozolino and others accompany mailed-in or indulgent papers rendering this a frustrating read.
