Learn to Play Therapy. Principles, Process and Practical Activities
This book provides the background, theoretical underpinnings and the process and principles of Learn to Play Therapy. Learn to Play Therapy has been developed and refined for over 25 years. This book is written for therapists who work with children aged 12 months to 8 years. It is a therapeutic approach for children with autism spectrum disorder, developmental difficulties, and children who find playing spontaneously, perplexing. Learn to Play Therapy focusses on building a child's ability to self-initiate spontaneous pretend play ability. Pretend play is associated with social competence, narrative, language, self-regulation, creativity and problem solving. The book is a complete revision o...
Play as Therapy
While paediatric healthcare professionals view play as the treatment tool of choice for children under school age, the theory and practice underpinning play-based therapeutic approaches often remain less clear to individual practitioners. Paediatric intervention approaches are increasingly being questioned, and individual practitioners constantly asked to provide evidence-based practice. In response, a more coherent understanding and fresh discussion on children's play and utilisation of play for therapeutic purposes is needed, especially as societal expectations and lifestyles change. Play as Therapy provides background theory and practical applications of original research on play assessment and interventions used in therapy. The book offers a solid foundation for identifying and assessing play dysfunction, understanding play in different cultural contexts and considerations when intervening with play. The practical approach is underpinned by theory, research and case vignettes to explain how to utilise play as therapy with challenging children.

Practising Social Inclusion
Practising Social Inclusion presents what we know about what works, and why, in promoting social inclusion and practising in a socially inclusive way. Contributing to the growing debates on social inclusion, this book moves beyond discussion of who it is that is socially excluded and the processes of exclusion. It draws on research and reflective practice to answer the vital question of how to actually work towards inclusion and includes five sections looking at different arenas for practice: policy; programme design; service delivery; community life; and research. Relevant to all those working to promote, or researching, human health and wellbeing, this book is especially suitable for practitioners, students and scholars in health promotion, social work, social policy, public health, disability studies, occupational therapy and nursing.
Clinical and Fieldwork Placement in the Health Professions
Common across all the health professions are fieldwork issues such as clinical placements in hospitals, community based service provision, and client-therapist interaction. They all demand knowledge of skills and techniques, and all require proficiency in problem solving and clinical reasoning. Clinical and Fieldwork Placement in Health Professions prepares students for their work in clinical and fieldwork settings, where their understanding of the various clinical and client-centered environments is dependent not only on their knowledge and skills, but on how well they work with other health professionals. The text is intended to be used throughout the health students' course. It is interdisciplinary rather than discipline-specific, and incorporates both clinical placement and fieldwork education within the context of professional health care services and delivery. Some chapters will be more relevant for first year students, particularly the specific settings section, while others will be more appropriate for final year students, where broader issues such as ethics and legal responsibility are covered.
Parent Learn to Play
The Facilitators manual sets out 12 sessions that take parents through key play skills. The Parent Learn to Play Sessions are aimed at parents who have children aged 12 months to 8 years. While the manual is for facilitators working with parents who have a child with some developmental concerns, it can also be used for any parent group who are interested in increasing their knowledge of play.
Theorising Social Exclusion
Social exclusion attempts to make sense out of multiple deprivations and inequities experienced by people and areas, and the reinforcing effects of reduced participation, consumption, mobility, access, integration, influence and recognition. This book works from a multidisciplinary approach across health, welfare, and education, linking practice and research in order to improve our understanding of the processes that foster exclusion and how to prevent it. Theorising Social Exclusion first reviews and reflects upon existing thinking, literature and research into social exclusion and social connectedness, outlining an integrated theory of social exclusion across dimensions of social action an...
