Theraplay is a unique form of structured play therapy that uses
touch, nurturing, and feeding as basic healing modalities. Children
who are lacking in early experiences of attachment to caretakers
are excellent candidates for this short-term therapy. In every type
of Theraplay treatment, whether with an individual child, child
with parent(s), siblings, multi-family groups, and so forth, the
benefits are amply demonstrated in thorough detail with numerous
case examples. This book testifies to the power inherent in this
technique and provides state-of-the-art coverage for both the
experienced and the novice practitioner.

This book is invaluable to professionals working with children who
have attachment issues. It provides a thorough grounding in the
basic concepts of Theraplay, along with specific descriptions of
innovative applications in work with groups, multiple families, and
a wide variety of presenting problems.

Therapists seeking new ways to help families with attachment and
relationship problems will find this engaging book a valuable
resource. Readers new to Theraplay will appreciate the clear
introduction to this model with its many playful ways of fostering
healthy relationships within families. Those knowledgeable about
Theraplay will be delighted with the creative expansion of the
technique to meet a variety of challenges and needs. They will
discover how Theraplay has been adapted to work with several
children within one family and even several families together, and
to deal with such issues as family violence and sexual abuse. I
welcome this excellent addition to the growing literature about
Theraplay.
