Co-edited by Kevin O'Connor, one of the foremost authorities on play therapy, and Lisa Braverman, an experienced child psychologist, the new edition contains the most recent coverage of diagnostic approaches and treatment modalities in child psychology as they relate to integrating play therapy in practice. This edition also covers new topics such as bipolar and ADHD diagnosis and treatment. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThorough, yet extraordinarily practical, the editors use two case studies throughout the text to demonstrate the application of each play therapy technique and treatment approach, allowing the reader to compare each major model of play therapy and assess its utility to their own particular client needs and practice orientation. After the cases are presented in the introduction, ten chapters follow, each written by a renowned expert(s) in play therapy introducing a major model of play therapy and applying it to the opening cases. This consistent format enables professionals to gain a practical, hands-on understanding of how current approaches to play therapy work, as well as the underlying principles upon which they are based. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten for mental health professionals at all levels of training and experience, \u003ci\u003ePlay Therapy Theory and Practice: Comparing Theories and Techniques, Second Edition\u003c\/i\u003e covers: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePsychoanalytic Play Therapy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eJungian Analytical Play Therapy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChild-Centered Play Therapy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFilial Therapy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCognitive Behavioral Play Therapy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdlerian Play Therapy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGestalt Play Therapy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTheraplay\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEcosystemic Play Therapy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePrescriptive Play Therapy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eInformative, thought provoking, and clinically useful, \u003ci\u003ePlay Therapy Theory and Practice: Comparing Theories and Techniques, Second Edition\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable resource for practitioners in the field of child psychotherapy, setting the standard for training and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKEVIN J.
