I am a victim of sexual abuse. I have read books like NIGHTMARES ECHO,BEAUTY FOR ASHES and COURAGE TO HEAL to find help in my adult life to get over what happened to me as a child. Abuse doesn’t just go away and the demons do haunt. When I found out about this book, I bought it as soon as I may possibly.
I am very pleased there is a book like this available for the children now…rather than later down the road when the impact of abuse has taken its hold on them.
I do urge that all Parents,Teachers etc. buy this book as well as the other two I had mentioned. Though NIGHTMARES ECHO and BEAUTY FOR ASHES are more adult oriented, I reckon that the mother,teacher,spuse etc can learn from these books and then help the child to over come the abuse with THE HEALING POWER OF PLAY.
I reckon this book was written well, and written for the fixed reader to know with out all of the large words that can confuse.

This is a must read if you are working with children. The author is one whom I consider the best in the field. It clearly defines all the basic principles of working with abused children and helps the new practitioner become familiar with the apt jargon in the field of play therapy. This is the “bible” of child therapy in my attitude and is priceless.

This is a must-have modern classic for the library of anyone working professionally with abused children. I would also urge this book for the insight it provides to anyone adopting a child who may have gone through trauma or abuse. Clearly written, backed up with thorough research and guided by sensitive clinical skills, Eliana Gil’s work is a primer on helping children work through trauma using their main mode of expression, play. If I may possibly urge only one book for training young professsionals embarking on the challenging and rewarding journey of helping kids who have been abused, this would be it.
