Book for Therapy Session
For this discussion, identify a mainstream children’s book that you might consider using in a play therapy session, whether with child or child and caregiver. Check libraries, bookstores, your own book collection, yard sales, et cetera, for a book written for a child (ages 3–12) that just so happens to provide an opportunity to get a child’s perspective and explore some life challenge that a child might present with for counseling, and that also seems appropriate to use in a counseling session.
Consider the following points relative to that book, and provide information regarding each point in this discussion post. (with apa resources as support)
1 What is the theme or purpose of the book from a therapist’s perspective?
2 Why did you choose this book over others with a similar theme or purpose?
3 Does this book connect better with some therapy approaches then others? If so, which, and why?
4 You may want to share an excerpt from your book (or scan and attach pictures and text).
