Psychologists from Sigmund Freud to Alice Miller have long agreed that childhood trauma holds the key to adult neurosis, but for many years, treatments concentrated on adults rather than children. More recently, however, a shift in focus has led to the flowering of children's "play therapy", explored here by a child psychologist.

I had to read this for my developmental psychopathology class. It takes you right into the sessions with the author and gives the reader a sense of what goes on in a therapeutic session between therapist and the child. I especially thought the chapter with an autistic child was fasinating. Bromfield brings the reader through the importance of establishing trust and being aware of even very small nuances during the session and how those things may..or may not have meaning. I found this book useful as a future mental health counselor.
