The
Definitive Guide to Theraplay® for Practitioners, officially endorsed by the
Theraplay® Institute
Theraplay is an intervention that focuses on enhancing the connection, trust
and joy between a child and a parent. It involves interactive, playful
activities using simple face-to-face reciprocal interactions, and involves
using all of the senses, including rhythm, movement and touch.
This comprehensive guide outlines the theory, reflection, and skill development
of the practitioner - the true power house of Theraplay. By maintaining a focus
on practice throughout, embedding theory into practice examples, it brings the
spirit of Theraplay to life. Part 1 covers the key principles of the
intervention; Part 2 addresses Theraplay in Practice: how to use the Marschak
Interaction Method (MIM), how to set up a room and choose activities and
considerations for working with different client groups; Part 3 encourages the reader to engage in
their own development and the stages involved; and Parts 4 and 5 provide a
wealth of useful resources, checklists, handouts, sample sessions and an up-to-date list of
Theraplay activities.
Whether you are a Theraplay practitioner, or simply want to find out how this
remarkable intervention works, this book is essential reading.
