Counselors,

If you are interested in play therapy, I highly recommend this book. It has several specific activities for storytelling, expressive arts, games, puppet play, toy activities, etc. I recently tried the rosebush activity on page 11 with an individual client, age 8.  The activity went very well and provided us both with further insight and a piece of artwork that we have referred back to in other sessions. Enjoy!
