Creative Interventions with Children: A Transtheoretical Approach

I brought together authors from across the world and across the theoretical spectrum to develop a collection of intervention techniques. After an introductory section providing foundational principles for working with children and their families, the book examines:

• Creative Expressions: Art in Children’s Therapy
• Changing Experience, Thought, and Action
• The Healing Power of Play
• Best Friends: Animal Assisted Techniques
• Therapeutic Games
• Peer Power: Groups

If you work with preteen children, you will find this a valuable resource, full of ideas to aid your practice. Click on the image for ordering information.
