Bratton</b>, PhD, LPC-S, RPT-S, professor emerita and director emerita, Center for Play Therapy, University of North Texas, USA</p><p>"This book reads like a who's who of renowned play therapists whose extensive wisdom is collectively shared. This is an exquisite, much-needed, and thorough volume that extensively covers all the critical aspects of childhood sexual abuse treatment. Readers are taken on a journey from treatment needs, theoretical and ethical frameworks, to crucial self-care of the therapist, with all other areas imaginable in-between. This is an important, must-have book for your clinical toolbox given the ever-growing epidemic of childhood sexual abuse."</p><p><b>Athena A. Drewes</b>, PsyD, MA, MS Ed, founder and past president of the New York Association for Play Therapy and former director of the Association for Play Therapy</p><p>"An excellent and much-needed volume. Victims of childhood sexual abuse experience both intense emotional and physical betrayal at the hands of those who sexually offend. Therapists can find themselves reacting by maintaining too much distance from the child and their pain for fear of reactivating the trauma of that betrayal. This text reminds therapists of the need to address these children's need for emotional closeness, physical safety and, most of all, to reestablish their ability to play and have fun."</p><p><b>Kevin O'Connor</b>, PhD, ABPP, RPT-S, board certified in clinical child and adolescent psychology and director of the Academy for Development of Ecosystemic Play Therapy</p>
