entering the field, as well as to experienced play therapists
expanding their scope of practice, teaching graduate classes, or

"Taking the reader from basic skills to advanced
communication methods, Dr. Kottman truly provides best practices
for working with children. In addition, she reviews each distinct
play therapy theory with conscientious attention to detail, and
with respect for what the theory has to offer, through research and
personal communication with practicing play therapists."
