In this episode, I move from “Why Play?” into specifically why play therapy works so well for kids. I encourage you to get the book Child-Centered Play Therapy by Rise VanFleet, et al, as well as foundational, Play Therapy: The Art of the Relationship by Garry Landreth. Many of the topics I discuss from these books, as well as stories, examples, and case studies from my practice.
