Play Therapy 3rd Edition

Came as pictured!

I love the use of the simplified yet descriptive language. I needed this book for a play therapy course, and it has opened up my mind to an assortment of wonder, insight, and information. While reading, I could feel the author's passion for children and play therapy. I found the ENTIRE book to be useful. I like that it is written from a humanistic, child-centered orientation. I think that this book, along with Virginia M. Axline's 1947 "Play Therapy", are essentials to any person that is trying to learn the basics of play therapy.

I love this book. This is my second time reading it and i have learned so much from it!!! I hate how expensive it is tho

Do you want to understand how to talk and listen to people, including your own kids? This book is helpful. It puts things simply without getting dry and long. It's easy to skip around in and engages the reader. It helped me to re-realize that frequently, people do not understand how to listen and communicate with others, including myself. "Play Therapy" is something to which most can relate.

The most often recommended textbook to beginning play therapists - and its clear why from the first chapter. This book provides a complete overview of most everything a play therapist needs to begin their work. Its been a trusted Bible of play therapy wisdom in my early career.

This book omits the jargon and drudge of a standard text book and presents each section in an easy to read and enjoyable format. A great book for the beginner in non-directive child centered play therapy. It covers every aspect that a professional starting out needs to know and gives guidance to the many difficult situations that may arise.

I read this book for an intro to play therapy course I took. It was a great introduction to the field. It is clear that Landreth has lots of experience and is passionate about play therapy. He did a great job informing me, a new counselor, how to use play therapy effectively and tips for some of the more common problems in the play room. I gave it four stars, instead of 5, because at times it felt really repetitive.

it took a while for them to draw the money from my bank account but the shipping was very quick as soon as they took the money. As a result, I got the book in few days after they told me that my items were shipping. Love the qualities of the books; they are like brand new!
