Riassunto

This book demonstrates, through detailed case examples, a variety of counseling and therapy interventions appropriate for helping bereaved children. Several cases and group meetings, presented in their entirety, illustrate group, family and individual play therapy with children who have been bereaved at various life stages and in various circumstances. Solidly grounded in developmental psychology, the book presents a range of interventive approaches from counseling to therapy. A unique, two?column format presents the reader with not only the content of the counseling/therapy sessions, but also the practitioner's accompanying thoughts and rationale for intervention. This book is ideal for readers who wish to enhance their skills in play therapy, grief counseling, and crisis trauma counseling. A uniquely practical work that will be referred to often, the books also features an appendix of resources that includes suppliers of play materials, sources for books on bereavement, and a list of references on different religious, cultural, and ethnic practices related to death. This volume will be invaluable to child psychiatrists, clinical/school psychologists, social workers, pediatric/school/psychiatric nurses, art therapists, child life specialists, pastoral counselors, teachers of special education and health, hospice counselors, alcohol counselors, and child welfare workers.
