“There are over four thousand languages in the world, and although the game is not mentioned in this list, it should take its rightful place there,” writes Harry Landreth. An American professor of psychology, he is one of the founders of play therapy. In 2005, the Association for Play Therapy awarded him an award for his personal contribution to the development of this method. Articles by the professor’s colleagues, collected by him in this book, confirm the important role of play therapy in working with a wide variety of people, including trauma survivors. Those who are interested in this method will find in the collection a lot of practical tips and recommendations to help you understand difficult situations that may arise during work. In particular, experts talk about how the game becomes a diagnostic tool, what are the features of working with children and the elderly, and what a play therapist should know about medicines.
