Description
Helping students and novice practitioners see clearly the various aspects of the craft, Dr. Gil models an accepting stance that in itself may represent a new experience for these children. [This video] opens up many possibilities for therapists who are working with children not yet ready to verbalize traumatic events or the feelings associated with them.--William N. Friedrich, PhD, Mayo Clinic and Mayo Medical School -An excellent addition to every clinician's professional library. Dr. Gil successfully weaves theory and technique in a pleasurable manner. By using a combination of the 'healthy' play of volunteers, and case presentations of traumatized clients, Gil delivers crucial information.--Social Work in Health Care, 10/24/2006
