Some 80 tested exercises come with guidlines for their application,
making ART THERAPY EXERCISES; INSPIRATIONAL AND PRACTICAL IDEAS TO
STIMULATE THE IMAGINATION a key acquisition for health collections
and parents and therapists alike. Here are exercises for a varied

Very highly recommended.
*The Midwest Book Review*
The novice [play therapist] would receive some excellent stimulus
material and guidance, whilst the experienced practitioner may
reconsider some of the exercises in a new light and reflect on
their value in supervisory or training settings.
*Play for Life*
Liesl Silverstone's new book is the outcome of a personal and
professional life dedicated to the celebration of the imagination
and to an unshakeable belief in the resilience of the human
spirit... readers will find a veritable cornucopia of exercises
which have the potential to open up new vistas and to inspire
imaginative journeys of great richness. Simply to read them is
itself a voyage of discovery but for many trainers and therapists
they will constitute a repertoire on which they can draw as from an
inexhaustible well.
