{"product_id":"deep-play-exploring-the-dennis-mccarthy-9781849057776","title":"Deep Play - Exploring the Use of Depth in Psychotherapy with Children","description":"\u003cp\u003eTherapeutic deep play has the capacity for children to express deep emotions, overcome seemingly insurmountable issues and resolve serious problems. Working with children in this profound way, therapists are able to not only eliminate symptoms, but to change the very structure of how children live with themselves, their defense and belief systems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The contributors to this book all work deeply, allowing children to take risks in a safe environment, and become fully absorbed in physical play. Chapters include play with deep sandboxes, clay, water, and various objects, and look at a range of pertinent case studies to demonstrate the therapeutic techniques in practice, alongside the theoretical concepts in which they are grounded. A new theoretical approach is established that takes from psychoanalysis as well as neuroscience and behaviourism, and offers a depth psychology approach in the treatment of children. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This will be a valuable resource for anyone working therapeutically with children through play, including play therapists, psychotherapists, psychologists, arts therapists, counsellors, social workers and family therapists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dennis McCarthy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 184905777X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781849057776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Kingsley Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/21\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Dennis McCarthy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44058395607295,"sku":"9781849057776","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_037a6d94-b826-49e2-866e-75d5e24df43a.jpg?v=1685052313","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/deep-play-exploring-the-dennis-mccarthy-9781849057776","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
