Play therapy is a diverse field which offers many types of interventions to be used in individual, group, and family formats. In this revised collection, expert contributors provide detailed descriptions of all of the major theoretical approaches for play therapy methods used with children and adolescents.  The book is divided into four sections, covering the major schools of play therapy models:  Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Systemic, and Emerging.  Each chapter will be thoroughly updated to include state-of-the-art information on therapeutic applications, recent empirical support, current case examples, and frequently encountered challenges in applying the approach, and there will also be new coverage of the therapists role in the session.   In addition, five new chapters will be added, to cover the major therapies (i.e., Narrative, Solution-Focused, Experiential, Release, and Integrative Play Therapy) that have emerged since the first edition published.
