I LOVE this book! Jessica Stone combines the personal and professional to open a door for play therapists to consider the possibility of becoming digital play therapists. Whether you like it or not, technology is here to stay, and we need to keep up with our clients. It's essential to meet clients where they are by speaking their language and having 'toys' that interest them in your play room. Digital Play Therapy provides a plethora of practical tools for stepping into the here and now with play therapy clients. - Terry Kottman, PhD, RPT-S, LMHC, founder and director of Encouragement Zone and founder and director of the League of Extraordinary Adlerian Play Therapists, USA
Digital Play Therapy presents the most current and thorough exploration into the use of technology and the digital medium in play therapy. This innovative book shows the reader the variance of technology application in the playroom, addresses key questions and concerns, and highlights the most current research related to technology. The completeness in addressing every aspect of what digital play therapy encompasses and proposes is impressive! This book is not simply a guide or an explanation of a play approach; it showcases possibilities and allows the play therapist to find their individual place of comfort and purpose regarding technology in the playroom. Anyone interested in gaining an honest and clear presentation about technology and its implications for play therapy will want to read this book. - Robert Jason Grant, EdD, LPC, RPT-S, ACAS, author, speaker, and creator of AutPlay (R) Therapy, USA
Digital Play Therapy is a must read for clinicians who want to understand the use of digital technology in psychotherapy.
