"Embodied Play Therapy: Healing and Building Identity with Children employs vivid case studies that bring Neal Brodsky’s therapeutic approach to life. Engaging narratives invite the reader along on the healing journey of children in his care, spotlighting the benefits of a holistic approach that engages the clients’ imaginations, emotions, senses, and bodies.
In the style of Carl Jung, who shared his childhood play memories in Memories, Dreams, and Reflections, Neal Brodsky invites the reader into his personal recollections of key childhood moments where the seeds of his future therapeutic style were sown.
For readers seeking to expand or deepen their play therapy skills, Brodsky’s chapter on teletherapy is particularly illuminating and inspiring. He possesses the magical ability to transform a two-dimensional environment into a three-dimensional, highly interactive space. We all breathe a little deeper as we take in the evidence-based techniques that bring relief to children who have been holding their breaths, steeling themselves against pain and anxiety."
