The bible of play therapy!
A representative book by Dr. Landreth, a leading expert in child-centered play therapy.

This book has long been considered the bible of play therapy.
However, surprisingly, there are many parts that were almost newly written every time until the third edition came out, and there is no part that was not revised.
In particular, this third edition includes new content such as supervision of play therapy, multicultural approach, understanding the theme of play in play therapy, ethical and legal issues of play therapy, and short-term play therapy, and even covers summaries of recent research on play therapy.

The author, who named the subtitle 'Techniques of Therapeutic Relationships', is doing his best to explain how important relationships are.
The process of learning such important relationships is the process of play therapy, and the expert who helps with this is a play therapist.
This book introduces the core techniques that play therapists use to build effective relationships with children.
Therefore, it will be a friendly guide for those studying child counseling or psychotherapy.
