Description

Identity is formed through the narration of experience, and children who experience difficult life events may need help in forming and expressing their own narratives.

Play therapy can be a very appropriate way of facilitating this kind of expression.

This book describes the work of nine play therapists through the narratives of children - and some adults - whose stories emerge during their play therapy sessions. These stories are not direct accounts of real happenings but are imaginative, metaphorical, complex and multi-layered.

The life events they relate to include fostering, long-term illness, and the traumatic death of a close adult.

One chapter examines attachment in families and another describes the Biography Laboratory project exploring story creation through action research.

This is a book in which professionals from many disciplines will find much to further their understanding of children's experiences and understanding of the world.
