Play Therapy with Preteens

Edited by Eric Green; Jennifer N. Baggerly and Amie Myrick

Play Therapy with Preteens presents integrative models of play therapy that incorporate expressive arts and evidence-informed interventions into working with preadolescents. The current research demonstrates treatment efficacy in incorporating creative, dynamic interventions into work with preadolescents and their families. This unique book is written specifically on play therapy with preadolescents, presenting a comprehensive yet practical approach that integrates expressive arts like music, movement, play, sand, and poetry into treatment, along with familial involvement.

Contributors cover a multitude of therapy options including: cognitive behavioral; attachment-centered; Alderian; family play; relational transformation; nature-based; and directive. This volume is the perfect companion to beginning and seasoned practitioners.

— Charles E. Schaefer, PhD, RPT-S, cofounder and director emeritus, the Association for Play Therapy


This bookis the first of its kind; it fills a void and provides a treasure trove of approaches, information, research, and practices in the field of play therapy with preteens. I highly recommend it for practitioners, graduate students, and academics.
