Theraplay® – The Practitioner’s Guide
Theraplay® is an attachment-focused approach which offers practical, fun ways for carers to strengthen their relationship with their child.
Fully endorsed by the Theraplay® Institute, this valuable resource provides a clear overview of Theraplay®: the theory and growing evidence base underpinning it, and the range of contexts in which it can be used.
It is essential reading for any professional working with children and their families, particularly adopted or looked after children. It is also useful to therapeutic practitioners working in different modalities and to those who wish to know more about Theraplay practice.
