This latest edition of Garry Landreth's comprehensive text on creating therapeutic relationships with children through play is a valuable resource for professionals working with children. Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), an evidence-based model, emphasizes the importance of understanding the child's world. Professors who have taught courses based on previous editions will appreciate that the core message remains intact, while being updated with a comprehensive review of rigorous contemporary research that demonstrates the strong evidence base for CCPT across cultural groups. The book has been expanded to cover additional topics of interest, including a model of the change process in CCPT and 13 new Rules of Thumb that provide guidance in clarifying the CCPT relationship. It also delves into deeper issues such as recognizing emotional blocks in play therapy, being culturally responsive, discovering meaning when there seems to be none, and more.

This new edition offers essential guidance to play therapists who engage with sensitive issues at every stage of the therapeutic process. It provides a thorough understanding of CCPT and its application, making it a valuable tool for professionals seeking to enhance their skills and effectiveness in working with children.
