Play Therapy: The Art of the Relationship
Play Therapy: The Art of the Relationship is the newest incarnation of Garry Landreth’s comprehensive text on creating therapeutic relationships with children through play.
It details Landreth’s Child Centered Play Therapy model, which stresses the importance of understanding the child’s world and perspective.
This approach facilitates the play therapy process while allowing therapist and client to fully connect. Professors who have taught a course based on the previous edition will be pleased to find the core message intact, but updated with a significant body of recent research.
Handbook of Counseling Military Couples
The military imposes unique and often severe challenges to couples, which clinicians – particularly the growing numbers of civilian clinicians who see military couples – often struggle to address.
These problems are only compounded by misunderstandings and misconceptions about what it means to be part of a specific branch of the military and part of the military as a whole.
Handbook of Counseling Military Couples includes a clear, thorough introduction to military culture and to coupled relationships in the military. But more than that, it provides readers with expert analyses of the special types of issues that come up for military couples and shows clinicians how to address them productively.

It addresses the essential components of the evaluation process and guides professionals through the planning, development, implementation, and data collection stages.

They then describe several approaches to evaluation and methods for successfully collecting and analyzing data. Methods for reporting the results of evaluations are also considered.
