Play Therapy with Preteens is a very well-written, informative, and comprehensive guide to developmentally appropriate play interventions for preadolescents. Highly recommended!

- Charles E. Schaefer, PhD, RPT-S, cofounder and director emeritus, the Association for Play Therapy,

This bookis the first of its kind; it fills a void and provides a treasure trove of approaches, information, research, and practices in the field of play therapy with preteens. I highly recommend it for practitioners, graduate students, and academics.

This unique volume offers treatment approaches for preadolescents as seen through the kaleidoscopic lens of theory and techniques. Poignant case studies enrich each chapter and offer practical applications. A useful addition for beginners as well as seasoned clinicians and play therapists!
