“I have used this book with my graduate-level play therapy students for many years because of its comprehensive nature, and welcome the release of the second edition. Once again, the editors have gathered insightful clinicians to tackle a central question in the field of play therapy: How can theory, research, and practice come together to drive effective treatment? The second edition covers an extensive range of contemporary topics that are crucial for making informed treatment decisions and shaping the future of play therapy.”
—Mary Anne Peabody, EdD, LCSW, RPT-S, Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences, University of Southern Maine
“Play is nature’s balm—it heals, builds, produces insights, and is the foundation for psychological resilience. Here we have an extraordinarily comprehensive, wonderfully written compendium of theory, practice, and research on the therapeutic uses of play.”

The book demonstrates best practices in the field with engaging case studies, and provides fresh perspectives on foundational techniques. Readers will be inspired to learn more about play therapy and to practice what they find in this rich source.”
