Parents as Partners in Child Therapy: A Clinician's Guide

By Paris Goodyear-Brown

This book addresses key questions facing the child therapist--how and when to bring parents into the treatment process and give them tools to support their child's healthy development. Known for her innovative, creative TraumaPlay approach, Paris Goodyear-Brown weaves together knowledge about play therapy, trauma, attachment theory, and neurobiology. She presents step-by-step strategies to help parents understand their child's needs, reflect on their own emotional triggers, set healthy boundaries, make time together more fun, and respond effectively to challenging behavior. Filled with rich clinical illustrations, the volume features 52 reproducible handouts and worksheets. Purchasers get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size.
