LEGO (R) bricks are a staple in many child and play therapists' offices, and Seriously Therapeutic Play with LEGO (R) shows therapists and counselors how to integrate LEGO (R) in a therapeutically valuable way. This book presents a therapeutic approach based in biological, psychological, and social research, one that supports participants as they build models that represent their thoughts, emotions, experiences, and reflections. Using a variety of evidence-based intervention techniques, chapters show clinicians how to incorporate the model and associated metaphors to help clients, and they do so in a way that is compatible with any number of therapeutic orientations or perspectives.

Though based in current research, Seriously Therapeutic Play with LEGO (R) is designed for psychologists, social workers, school counselors, occupational therapists, clinical educators and supervisors, coaches, support workers, and other health care providers across the lifespan who wish to use play therapeutically.
