This classic guide has helped tens of thousands of therapists integrate play therapy and family therapy techniques in clinical practice. Eliana Gil demonstrates a broad range of verbal and nonverbal strategies for engaging all family members-including those who are ambivalent toward therapy-and tailoring interventions for different types of presenting problems. Numerous case examples illustrate ways to effectively use puppets, storytelling, art making, the family play genogram, drama, and other expressive techniques with children, adolescents, and their parents. Gil offers specific guidance for becoming a more flexible, creative practitioner. The second edition features all-new case material and discusses how recent advances in neuroscience can inform creative interventions. The audiobook includes examples of therapeutic interactions, engagingly read by multiple narrators; images of client artwork are provided in the online supplement
