"Malchiodi and her colleagues understand the needs of traumatized
children and how to respond to them. In this book of wide-ranging
creative therapeutic interventions, contributors report on
techniques grounded in the latest psychophysiological and
developmental research. They describe
expressive/experiential/body-based creative arts techniques that
help traumatized children address and process the effects of their
traumatic experiences. Among the many strengths of this book are
its focus on flexibly adapting the various strategies to the
specific needs and context of each child and its emphasis on
strengths and resiliency."--Christine A. Courtois, PhD, ABPP,
private practice (retired), Washington, DC; consultant and trainer,
trauma psychology and treatment
"Another exceptional book from a highly regarded clinician, author,
and speaker! Malchiodi has assembled a group of experts to present
the beautifully written and illustrated second edition of this
important volume. The book includes cutting-edge creative
interventions and updated discussions of practice issues, research,
and multicultural applications. Like the first edition, this
comprehensive and highly accessible work contains a wealth of
practical information and is a 'must read' for both professionals
and students to guide their work with children."--Sue C. Bratton,
PhD, LPC-S, RPT-S, Professor and Director, Center for Play Therapy,
University of North Texas
“Malchiodi has once again delivered a volume that beautifully
blends theory, science, and technique with clinically sound
strategies for helping traumatized children. Whether your interest
is art, play, sandtray, drama, music, or movement therapy, you will
find valuable information and fresh clinical insights to inform
your practice. Newer therapists will receive a solid grounding in a
trauma-informed approach to expressive therapies, and seasoned
therapists will find creative interventions to expand their
clinical repertoires. This second edition is a welcome addition to
the libraries of those who practice developmentally sensitive
trauma work with children.”--Paris Goodyear-Brown, LCSW, RPT-S,
Nurture House, Franklin, Tennessee
“As understanding has increased of neurobiology and sensory
processes in trauma, so has the need for practitioners to develop
skills in the use of creative arts and expressive therapies for
treatment. This well-written volume offers both breadth and depth,
while providing flexible and developmentally friendly treatment
approaches that are client-focused and driven by individual and
family needs relating to trauma. Compelling case examples bring
these approaches to life. I highly recommend this work to all
practitioners who work with children and families living with
trauma in its many forms. It’s a wonderful book!”--Risë VanFleet,
PhD, RPT-S, CDBC, President, Family Enhancement and Play Therapy
Center, Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania -The book has a rich
collection of black-and-white sketches that are worth the price of
the book on its own merit. They speak when words fail....The book
has good reference information, organized by chapters. (on the
first edition)--Illness, Crisis and Loss, 01/01/2010ƒƒI would
recommend this well-researched and well-informed book to therapists
working in schools with children of displaced, disenfranchised
survivors of war and disaster and those working with families
around the world who are struggling to make sense of their
traumatizing experiences....This book is packed with suggested
activities for therapists to help restore the child's sense of
safety and ability to function creatively and spontaneously. (on
the first edition)--Child and Adolescent Mental Health,
02/01/2009ƒƒThe book is well structured and each chapter offers the
reader a deeper understanding of specific creative applications and
useful interventions for working with traumatized children,
families, and groups....I found Malchiodi's presentation of the
neurobiological effects of trauma to be an exciting introduction to
new ways of looking at trauma work with children. It serves as a
foundation for the important and moving work described by the
contributing authors and sets the tone for the book. (on the first
edition)--Art Therapy, 05/01/2014
