Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Vicario, Janet - Coveer Design (illustrator). Second Printing. 226 Pages Indexed. A used book in great shape. Interior text pagesl are flawless. By drawing on her extensive training and experience as both a child therapist and a family therapist, Dr. Gil shows us how to use all family members' capacities for expressive play simultaneously. Never before have we been treated to such a variety of family play techniques that are presented in such vivid clinical detail. Her methods are captivating to read about and described with sufficient depth so that the reader can visualize their application in everyday clinical situations. Many family therapists have not received basic training in clinical work with your children such as child development, psychopathology, or child therapy and therefore do not know how to relate to children as individuals. Most impressive is the author's creativity in adapting traditional methods of child therapy such as puppet interviews and mutual story-telling technique to conjoint family sessions. This is a book for every therapist, supervisor, and graduate student who works with children and their parents.
