The authors argue that such activities in a safe context can be both a means of expressing trauma and a coping strategy for children to overcome it. This book combines personal and professional perspectives, using case examples as well as the authors' own childhood experiences, to demonstrate practical strategies for use with children, from drama and storytelling to sculpting with clay. It also equips the reader with knowledge of the theory behind these intervention techniques. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book will be a valuable resource for professionals working with traumatized children who have experienced loss, grief, relocation and other kinds of trauma.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce St Thomas, Paul Johnson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1843107899\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781843107897\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Kingsley Publishers, Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.21h x 9.16w x 0.36d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2007 pg. 287","brand":"Bruce St Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938915713279,"sku":"9781843107897","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1cd26c8a-94cf-4cf1-94a4-8e129d71a42f.jpg?v=1681438429","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/empowering-children-through-art-and-bruce-st-thomas-9781843107897","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
