Play Therapy for Severe Psychological Trauma

Synopsis
Dr Eliana Gil examines the nature of trauma, how to recognise it clinically, and how to manage its powerful effects upon children’s development through the use of artwork and play. Clinical demonstrations are presented throughout. Also looks at dissociation and other symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress disorder and at concrete ways to intervene when repetitive or ritualised play become harmful.
