But where to begin? A growing body of play therapy literature offers many specific techniques and a variety of theoretical models; however, many therapists are still searching for a comprehensive model of treatment that incorporates solid theoretical constructs with effective play therapy interventions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eClinicians have long recognized that trauma therapy is not just a matter of techniques but a journey with a beginning, middle, and end. In a pioneering contribution to the field, Play \u003ci\u003eTherapy with Traumatized Children: A Prescriptive Approach\u003c\/i\u003e, the author codifies the process in her model, Flexibly Sequential Play Therapy (FSPT). Integrating non-directive and directive approaches, this components-based model allows for the uniqueness of each child to be valued while providing a safe, systematic journey towards trauma resolution. The FSPT model demystifies play-based trauma treatment by outlining the scope and sequence of posttraumatic play therapy and providing detailed guidance for clinicians at each step of the process.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDramatically demonstrating the process of healing in case histories drawn from fifteen years of clinical practice with traumatized children, \u003ci\u003ePlay Therapy with Traumatized Children\u003c\/i\u003e addresses:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eCreating a safe place for trauma processing\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eAugmenting the child's adaptive coping strategies and soothing his or her physiology\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eCorrecting the child's cognitive distortions\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eEnsuring that caregivers are facilitative partners in treatment\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eInviting gradual exposure to trauma content through play\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eCreating developmentally sensitive trauma narratives\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eUsing termination to make positive meaning of the post-trauma self\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47121900175600,"sku":"9780470561287","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780470561287_p0.jpg?v=1763706321","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780470561287","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
