In an effort to suggest how traumatized children and adults can move toward healing, this collection of 12 papers starts with an overview of what neuroscience says about trauma treatment and
the implications for creative arts therapists. Papers also describe crisis intervention play therapy to help children, drama therapy for adult victims working toward aesthetic distance,
expressive arts therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder, therapies for cumulative trauma, art therapy with traumatized families, vocal psychotherapy for adults traumatized as children,
sandplay therapy, puppetry interventions, video play therapy and story-craft. Annotation 穢2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
