The Story So Far Play Therapy Narratives By: Ann Cattanach Publisher: Jessica Kingsley Publishers Print ISBN: 9781843100638, 1843100630 eText ISBN: 9781846423420, 1846423422 Pages: 240 Copyright year: 2002 Format: PDF Available from $ 36.95 USD SKU 9781846423420 Identity is formed through the narration of experience, and children who experience difficult life events may need help in forming and expressing their own narratives. Play therapy can be a very appropriate way of facilitating this kind of expression. This book describes the work of nine play therapists through the narratives of children - and some adults - whose stories emerge during their play therapy sessions. These stories are not direct accounts of real happenings but are imaginative, metaphorical, complex and multi-layered. The life events they relate to include fostering, long-term illness, and the traumatic death of a close adult. One chapter examines attachment in families and another describes the Biography Laboratory project exploring story creation through action research. This is a book in which professionals from many disciplines will find much to further their understanding of children's experiences and understanding of the world.
