`What impressed me so much about this work was Cattanach's knowledge of children and their inherent strengths as well as their vulnerabilities...This practical and easy to apply book is recommended for anyone who works with abused children and would like further insight as well as practical and informative advice on healing the traumatized child. It would also be beneficial for anyone working in the area of bereavement, as many of these children must grieve the loss of parents and siblings when they removed from abusive homes.' -Trauma and Loss: Research and Interventions `...a welcome addition to the sparse literature in this area. I would recommend the book to anyone working in this field but especially to beginners...This is a well presented, clear and easy-to-read book, providing a balanced mixture of factual information and case material.' British Journal of Occupational Therapy `...scores highly on clarity of presentation. In this regard, the old adage that `one picture is worth a thousand words' is borne out by the plentiful reproductions of children's drawings...there is a list of books for younger children with the author's individual comments based on her own experience. Another example of making the invisible child visible.' Counselling `This is a valuable book, both for the novice and the battlehardened.' - Irish Social Worker `This is a book which is shocking at times but extremely valuable' - Nursery World `Her accounts of the way in which play is used to make sense of traumatic experiences are full of insight and often moving. All aspects of the work are covered... This is an exceptional volume...goes far beyond a mere text book.' - Therapy Weekly `This is a wonderfully reaffirming book for play therapists. Ann Cattanach writes with enormous empathy and warmth, and with a refreshing lack of sentimentality...I would recommend this book most highly, both for practitioners of play therapy and those professionals who may need evidence that play therapy is as valid as `talking' therapy, if not more so... It is an unpretentious and optimistic book, and a very positive addition to recent publications.' - British Association of Play Therapists `An overview of therapeutic and developmental play theories provides an solid foundation to the book...an excellent practical guide for therapists, particularly those new to the field. The writing style and numerous case examples make the book easy to read...excellent descriptions of creative media used, and the inclusion of modern toys in the process, a refreshing addition to materials previously described in traditional play therapy approaches.' - Australian Occupational Therapy Journal `Cattanach emphasises...the importance of play as a symbolic activity... There are many extracts from the author's own work with abused children. They bring home vividly the terrible emotional pain inflicted on children who are abused by the very people they love and depend on.' - Ark (National Association of Toy and Leisure Activities) `Ann Cattanach...has demonstrated a wealth of knowledge and experience in this field of working with abused children, and has shared this openly throughout the text...a book which will be particularly useful to therapists new to this field of work, but has material to offer to all professionals who have a need to listen to children and validate their experiences.' - National Association of Paediatric Occupational Therapists This book explores the uses of play therapy with abused children as a way of helping them to heal their distress and make sense of their experiences through expanding their own creativity in play. It introduces the concept that play is a developmental activity through which children explore their identity in relation to others. Children use multiple media to express themselves in play, including their own bodies, symbolic objects, and a variety of role-
