Opis

What the author calls capable touching is the focus for this book. She believes that developmental play therapy builds both the self of the hurt child and his or her appreciation of the nurturing other, thus making way for dialogue between them and - as the dialogue becomes an organizing force for the child's behaving and relating - facilitates healing and maturation. Dr. Brody attempts to incorporate training in developmental play into the body of her book to provide therapists, teachers and other helping professionals with the experience they need to understand and practice capable touching. Case studies of a range of differently disturbed children are referred to, complete with interpretive comments by the author."
