• Good, But Requires A Huge Buy-in On Theory 09 August, 2008
I took a course from Dr. Landreth in the 1980s, and while I respect his perspective on child-centered play therapy, it seems a bit rigid and dogmatic. This book describes his theoretical perspective on working with children -- ONE perspective, which is helpful in many cases, but definitely not for everyone. In working with a diverse group of families and children, I've found the perspectives and techniques outlined in this book to have limited applicability. Landreth would say that's the therapist's fault -- not doing the approach "right." But I think it helps to look at the ideas in this book as ONE approach of many, and to work from the approach that fits you and your families best.

• A More Than Sufficient Survey Of The Techniques Of Therapeutic Play 19 September, 2008
Much like any other piece of literature the Landreth text tends to hold a bias. Although it adequately accounts for the basic assumptions of other approaches to play therapy this particular text tends to err on the side of the Client-Centered approach. So, if you're not keen on Axline and, to a lesser extend, Rogers, this text may not be for you.

• Interesting 02 October, 2008
I needed this book for class. It is very informative and answers many questions about the field of Play Therapy. It is by a well-known author, so you can consider any of his books a good choice to purchase.
