Seriously Therapeutic Play with LEGO® The Guidebook for Helping Professionals

LEGO® bricks are a staple in many child and play therapists’ offices, and Seriously Therapeutic Play with LEGO® shows therapists and counselors how to integrate LEGO® in a therapeutically valuable way. This book presents a therapeutic approach based in biological, psychological, and social research, one that supports participants as they build models that represent their thoughts, emotions, experiences, and reflections. Using a variety of evidence-based intervention techniques, chapters show clinicians how to incorporate the model and associated metaphors to help clients, and they do so in a way that is compatible with any number of therapeutic orientations or perspectives. Though based in current research, Seriously Therapeutic Play with LEGO® is designed for psychologists, social workers, school counselors, occupational therapists, clinical educators and supervisors, coaches, support workers, and other health care providers across the lifespan who wish to use play therapeutically.https://digitalcommons.usm.maine.edu/facbooks/1687/thumbnail.jp
