Paper Dolls and Paper Airplanes: Therapeutic Exercises for Sexually Traumatized Children

Published USA, 1998
Using a solid theoretical framework and extensive practical application, this book is a useful tool for mental health practitioners. It provides clinicians with activities and ideas that they can use in any treatment program. Each chapter is based on a particular treatment issue. Whether carrying out an individual or group program, the therapist can select from a variety of paper-and-pencil exercises, role-playing activities, therapeutic games, puppet shows, and music and art activities. The chapters need not be followed in order - they may be adapted to be used in the client`s comprehensive treatment plan.
