"This is one of those rare clinical books that not only will occupy
a prominent place on the therapist's bookshelf, but also will be
reached for time and time again between sessions. It is destined to
be a cherished resource for child and adolescent therapists. Like
having a cadre of expert supervisors at one's side, the volume
successfully guides readers through one of the most common yet
challenging types of treatment impasse, while expanding ideas of
what therapy can look like. Innovators in the field offer sure-fire
ways of engaging even the most reticent young people."--Craig Haen,
PhD, private practice, White Plains, New York
"Psychotherapy with children can be an arduous and challenging
process. Malchiodi and Crenshaw have provided an important,
informative resource for child therapists. Regardless of the
reader's therapeutic orientation, this book offers a wealth of
cutting-edge ideas and strategies. Whether you are an experienced
clinician or still in training, this unique volume is a valuable
guide."--Sam Goldstein, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, University
of Utah School of Medicine; Clinical Director, Neurology, Learning,
and Behavior Center, Salt Lake City
"This is the best current book on a familiar treatment issue in
child therapy. Honest, clear, and informative, the chapters offer
multiple perspectives on how to facilitate children's communication
in creative and insightful ways. Each chapter contains detailed
hands-on applications. As a graduate educator in play therapy and
expressive art therapy for more than 36 years, I am refreshed to
find a book that provides even the neophyte therapist with such
usable, inviting intervention strategies."--Julia Byers, EdD,
Division of Expressive Therapies (Emerita), Lesley University
"The title immediately lets the reader know that this is a
practical, accessible book. Malchiodi and Crenshaw have assembled
leading experts to take us on a journey of discovering the impact
of maturation, brain development, trauma, and culture on children’s
communication styles. The volume presents models that highlight the
primacy of creativity and relationship when counseling children. I
recommend this book to counselors and therapists who wish to enter
the world of children in the most effective ways, and as a
complementary text for any course on child and adolescent
counseling."--Dee C. Ray, PhD, LPC-S, NCC, RPT-S, Director, Center
for Play Therapy, and Professor, Counseling Program, University of
North Texas -Each chapter concludes with a list of best practices
to guide the therapist through implementing the recommended
approaches. Clinical educators and supervisors will find this book
to be a valuable text to introduce trainees and supervisees to the
principles and processes of child psychotherapy. Therapists new to
working with children will appreciate the blend of theory and
specific suggestions illustrated by engaging clinical examples to
promote their understanding of both the content and process of
dealing with silence in sessions. The book will also provide
experienced therapists with the opportunity to update their
knowledge of current best practices in assessing and treating
silenced child clients.--American Journal of Play, 1/26/2018
