Engaging Resistant Children in Therapy by David A. Crenshaw Pdf
As every child therapist knows, the hardest part of helping resistant children is engaging them in therapy. Their anger on the surface, fear underneath, difficulty expressing themselves verbally, and inability to trust interfere with establishing a therapeutic relationship. Dr. David Crenshaw developed projective techniques to overcome all of these obstacles. He found common themes and used them to design drawing and storytelling techniques to engage children in meaningful therapeutic dialogue. Dr. Crenshaw developed these techniques for engaging resistant children during over three decades of observing play and fantasy productions of angry, defiant and anxious children. But you don't have to spend three decades developing these techniques. Dr. Crenshaw's directives for the Child's Drawing and Storytelling activities are clearly described along with follow-up questions or issues for the therapist to consider in the first in a series of Child and Family Therapy Guidebook Series.This first uidebook, pictured above, explains in detail how to use ten original projective drawing and storytelling strategies with angry, defiant, oppositional, and anxious children to engage them in meaningful therapeutic dialogue.

The Guidebooks will phasize practical and clinically useful techniques that the busy practitioner can easily incorporate into their work in the child or family therapy room. The series editor John B.

Cognitive-Behavioral Play Therapy by Susan M. Knell Pdf
Cognitive-Behavioral Play Therapy (CBPT) incorporates cognitive and behavioral interventions within a play therapy paradigm. It provides a theoretical framework based on cognitive-behavioral principles and integrates these in a developmentally sensitive way. Thus, play as well as verbal and nonverbal approaches are used in resolving problems. CBPT differs from nondirective play therapy, which avoids any direct discussion of the child's difficulties. A specific problem-solving approach is utilized, which helps the child develop more adaptive thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive-behavioral therapies are based on the premise that cognitions determine how people feel and act, and that faulty cognitions can contribute to psychological disturbance. Cognitive-behavioral therapies focus on identifying maladaptive thoughts, understanding the assumptions behind the thoughts, and learning to correct or counter the irrational ideas that interfere with healthy functioning. Since their development approximately twenty-five years ago, such therapies have traditionally been used with adults and only more recently with adolescents and children. It has commonly been thought that preschool-age and school-age children are too young to understand or correct distortions in their thinking. However, the recent development of CBPT reveals that cognitive strategies can be used effectively with young children if treatments are adapted in order to be developmentally sensitive and attuned to the child's needs. For example, while the methods of cognitive therapy can be communicated to adults directly, these may need to be conveyed to children indirectly, through play activities. In particular, puppets and stuffed animals can be very helpful in modeling the use of cognitive strategies such as countering irrational beliefs and making positive self-statements. CBPT is structured and goal oriented and intervention is directive in nature.
Handbook of Narrative Psychotherapy for Children, Adults, and Families by Jan Olthof Pdf
The Handbook Narrative Psychotherapy for Children, Adults and Families combines philosophical, scientific and theoretical insights in the field of narrative psychotherapy and links them to sources of inspiration such as poetry, film, literature and art under the common denominator 'narrative thinking'. Sections on theoretical issues alternate with a large number of case histories drawn from different therapeutic contexts. The reader can browse at will through the many examples of therapeutic sessions, in some cases including literal transcriptions, in which narrativity in all its forms is the point of departure. What language does the body speak? What messages do seemingly random slips of the tongue convey? How can a painting help a client to find words for his or her story? The discussion of the 'logic of abduction' demonstrates the importance of metaphor, and special attention is given to the processes of creating a therapeutic context and defining a therapeutic framework.
