Truly impressive. The chapters capture the power of different
therapeutic techniques that involve the use of the arts and play
when working with children with attachment problems. The case
examples provide a revealing view of and rationale for the
interventions of very talented therapists. The book is enriched by
the inclusion of recent brain research to help the reader
understand why these techniques are indicated. While the emphasis
is on youngsters with histories of abuse and attachment problems,
the therapeutic techniques described are applicable with all child
patients. This is an invaluable resource for both beginning and
experienced child and adolescent psychotherapists. Malchiodi and
Crenshaw are to be commended for editing such a wonderful,
informative book.--Robert Brooks, PhD, Department of Psychiatry,
Harvard Medical School
When children are 'captured' by living in a traumatic environment,
it takes the efforts of a brave and knowledgeable therapist to help
release them from their psychological bondage. This book brings
that insight to fruition in an approach to attachment-focused play
and arts therapy that is grounded in knowledge of developmental
neuroscience, and it does so with insight and wisdom. It should be
required reading for any professional who steps into the world of
children exposed to the dark side of human experience.--James
Garbarino, PhD, Maude C. Clarke Chair in Humanistic Psychology,
Loyola University Chicago
This book is a gem! Integrating attachment theory, recent advances
in neuroscience, and clinical wisdom, the editors have made an
outstanding contribution to the field. Contributors weave together
theory, research, and practice. Readers gain a deeper appreciation
for the rich nuances of creative arts and play therapy as powerful
means of helping survivors of attachment trauma. Every chapter
contains practical techniques for addressing a wide range of
therapeutic issues, and vignettes that bring the concepts to life.
Clinicians of all levels of experience will find reading this book
to be enlightening, moving, and inspiring.--Lennis G. Echterling,
PhD, Director and Professor of Counseling, James Madison
