Empirically Based Play Interventions for Children

This text offers a clinical reference of evidence-based play interventions for a variety of populations and settings, illustrating both directive and non-directive approaches. Each chapter offers theory, observations, and data. Editors Reddy, Schaefer (psychology, Fairleigh Dickinson University), and Hall (a school psychologist) present 13 contributions from psychologists working in various contexts who discuss play prevention programs and interventions for internalizing, externalizing, and developmental disorders. Each chapter includes a description of the theoretical basis, treatment processes, outcome studies, and evaluation approach. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
