Hand in Hand II: An Art/Play Therapist's Treasury Chest

Hand in Hand II is a further collection of material on the use of art and play therapy in group work. In this volume are leading-edge papers by active professionals in the field of art and play therapy.Chapters include specific group formats on separation and divorce, adolescent mask making, art and play in shelters, children with special needs, and a self-evaluation and self-control workshop for boys. Topics such as domestic abuse, self-esteem in teens, working with traumatic brain-injured children, anger control, the problems experienced by foster children and foster parents, and many more, are covered as well.
Ms. Bedard states in her preface: "I believe this book is as rich as the co-authors, who have not only been part of this book but also part of my life. . . . As a teacher, there is no greater reward than to have former students go beyond the classroom to become specialists in their own areas."
This is an important resource for therapists, teachers, and social workers and is a valuable companion volume to Hand in Hand I: A Practical Application of Art and Play Therapy.
