Editorial Review:
Play is to the child what verbalization is to the adult-it is a medium for expressing feelings, exploring relationships, describing experiences and disclosing wishes. Revised and updated, this second edition of the award-winning Play Therapy: The Art of the Relationship provides comprehensive and detailed information for creating therapeutic relationships with children and facilitating the play therapy process. Guidelines, transcripts and case examples are provided for governing sensitive issues at every stage of the therapeutic process, from the first meeting to the end of the relationship.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - The art of the relationship by Garry Landreth
This text book is one of the best tools to help one learn the skill of play therapy. It is an easy read and not jumbled by words one can not comprehend. It explains in detail the do's and don'ts of how one interacts with a child through play and it defines the importance of play for a child. And it helps parents to build a relationship with their child through the process of play. I recommend this to anyone that is taking the position as parent, counselor, therapist, and teacher.
Rating: - Extremely useful and well written
This book is a must have for any therapist working with children. It brings you into the world of the child and the means of his/her expression.
Rating: - New book
Perfect condition; new book; great packaging and arrived on time. This book cost less than paying my school's book store for it and it was deliever-free!
Rating: - This is THE Book for aspiring play therapists!
I was required to read the book for a class I was completing on Play therapy. It was a very easy read, well organized with a good mixture of research and anecdotal information. What makes the book a truly outstanding resource is Dr. Landreth's very candid insight into the practice of play therapy as well as his willingness to share with the reader his very sincere love and respect for children.
Rating:  - Clear, concise, engaging introduction to play therapy
This book is a necessary addition to any therapists library, especially those who are just beginning or are interested in knowing the foundations for therapy with children. Clearly written and well organized, it is easy to read and an invaluable reference. Highly recommended for beginning play therapists
