“This is a wonderful and engaging book. Tamsin is the therapist you’d want every child to have. I learnt so very much.” – Dr. Susie Orbach

Through the stories of individual children, this book illuminates the process of creative, play based child psychotherapy. Each chapter focuses on a specific issue that brings a child or a young person to the therapy room and explores the use and meaning of particular objects and ‘object games’. Through these insightful and dynamic stories, readers will gain a profound understanding of the healing power of play in the context of child psychotherapy.
