Reviews"Nancy Boyd Webb has devoted a lifetime to play theory and practice: to observing, working with, and reporting on the play of troubled children. In this book, as in the first edition ofPlay Therapy with Children in Crisis, she has brought together a stellar group of experts who write about a range of fascinating youngsters and their experiences in therapy. She has pulled these chapters together with grace, ensuring their readability and scholarship." --From the Foreword by Lenore Terr, MD, San Francisco, CA (author ofUnchained MemoriesandToo Scared to Cry) "The first edition of this volume was a stellar contribution to the field of play therapy--a standard against which other books must be measured. This second edition is an excellent continuation of a classic in our field." --Charles E. Schaefer, PhD, Co-director, Play Therapy Training Institute, Hackensack, New Jersey "This book is filled to the brim with information and insight. There is something to be learned on every page. The key to helping children through play therapy is for the adult to become an ally for children in crisis. This book will help students and novice practitioners orient themselves and will help experienced clinicians improve their practice. It can be used as a text in MSW programs as well as trainings, workshops, and other settings in which clinical social workers and psychologists participate." --James Garbarino, PhD, Co-Director, Family Life Development Center, Professor, Human Development, Cornell University "Mental health practitioners will treasure this work, recommend it to colleagues, and keep their copies nearby for reference. Material from actual play therapy sessions brings children's voices and play behaviors to life and affords insight into their experiences of fear, confusion, and helplessness. Annotations by the therapists reveal their own thoughts, feelings, and clinical strategies, enriching the reader's understanding of the complexities of treatment. I enthusiastically recommend this book for advanced courses in child psychiatry and clinical psychology, social work, and psychiatric nursing. Instructors and students will appreciate its clarity of presentation, the manner in which theory and practice are integrated, and the penetrating, thoughtful study questions following each chapter." --Beverly James, LCSW, author ofTreating Attachment-Trauma Problems in Children, "Nancy Boyd Webb has devoted a lifetime to play theory and practice: to observing, working with, and reporting on the play of troubled children.

Having received such superlative acclaim it is difficult to conceive of this text being improved upon. However, Dr. Webb has done just that....The breadth and scope of this text is compelling....As an Instructor of Group Work, Clinical Social Worker and Certified Grief Counselor I was particularly moved by the chapters devoted to group practice....the use of the two-column format is an incredibly effective teaching tool, as the authors guide us through their inner clinical process as they engage the children in initial stages of group process and development....study questions at the end of the chapter drive home the rich clinical insights culled from each group session....This book will serve as a timeless contribution to the field of play therapy and group work with children. I have been personally enriched by having had the opportunity to read it and offer a review." --Social Work With Groups
