Media Reviews
Practical advice for enhancing the supervision process by creative and playful interactions. A must read for all child clinicians who use play-based interventions. -- Charles E. Schaefer, cofounder and director emeritus of the Association for Play Therapy
This book skillfully combines theory and practice with a variety of detailed case examples demonstrating how the use of playful interventions in supervision can foster the professional identity development of both beginning and experienced play therapists. Using a hand-on, creative approach this excellent resource and guide argues convincingly about the value of expressive and creative arts as effective tools in facilitating the professional growth of play therapy practitioners. -- Nancy Boyd Webb, DSW, BCD, RPT-S, Distinguished Professor and James R. Dumpson Chair in Child Welfare Studies, Fordham University
This book is a passionately written comprehensive and valued contribution to the field of supervision and play therapy. Each chapter combines the wisdom and expertise of many extraordinary clinicians, thereby opening the door for those of us who are supervisors and for those intending to become supervisors to expand our approaches and deepen our personal development. -- Joyce C. Mills, Ph.D., LMFT, Author, Speaker, Trainer
I have been waiting for a book like this for 20 years! In my role as a play therapy supervisor, it has been frustrating not to have a guide for my practice in that area. Now I have one. Mullen and Drewes have gathered a potpourri of incredibly helpful chapters that cover everything from supervision models and cultural competence in play therapy supervision to the special considerations in supervising specific populations to facilitating self-awareness in the play therapy supervisee. They even include techniques for infusing the supervision process with fun. What more could you want? -- Terry Kottman, Director, The Encouragement Zone
