Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nominated for a 2018 Gradiva Award for Best Book by the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis, Using Projective Methods with Children is an enhanced synthesis of Steve Tuber’s previously published research on the study of projective methods to assess the representations of self and others, as well as the actual interpersonal experiences children internalize in the form of these representations. Integrating conceptual and empirical work, with an emphasis on the Rorschach Inkblot Method (RIM), the book offers unique, evidence-based information on the importance of assessing particular aspects of a child’s inner self. The studies cover a broad range of topics such as dreams, anxiety disorders, political oppression, homelessness, and multiculturalism, and each is supplemented with an analytical introduction. A section that discusses future areas of research is also included.

Download or read book Engaging Resistant Children in Therapy written by David A. Crenshaw and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As every child therapist knows, the hardest part of helping resistant children is engaging them in therapy. Their anger on the surface, fear underneath, difficulty expressing themselves verbally, and inability to trust interfere with establishing a therapeutic relationship. Dr. David Crenshaw developed projective techniques to overcome all of these obstacles. He found common themes and used them to design drawing and storytelling techniques to engage children in meaningful therapeutic dialogue. Dr. Crenshaw developed these techniques for engaging resistant children during over three decades of observing play and fantasy productions of angry, defiant and anxious children. But you don't have to spend three decades developing these techniques. Dr. Crenshaw's directives for the Child's Drawing and Storytelling activities are clearly described along with follow-up questions or issues for the therapist to consider in the first in a series of Child and Family Therapy Guidebook Series.This first uidebook, pictured above, explains in detail how to use ten original projective drawing and storytelling strategies with angry, defiant, oppositional, and anxious children to engage them in meaningful therapeutic dialogue. The stories consist of:·THE MISUNDERSTOOD MOUSE ·THE WHAT IF ALRUS ·ALL THE ANIMALS LISTEN WHEN THE WISE OLE OWL SPEAKS ·THE TREE ON TOP OF THE HILL ·BLOW-UP BERNIE ·THE BALLISTIC STALLION ·BEHIND THE CLOSED DOOR ·THE BUMBLE BEE WHO OULDN'T STOP STINGING ·THE ANIMAL THAT NOBODY WANTS TO HUG ·THE PIGLET THAT DIDN'T FIT These strategies are very practical and usable ways to engage 7-12 year-old kids in therapy who don¿t want to talk, don't want to play!"This book is Volume One in a Series of Child and Family Therapy Guidebooks to be published by the Rhinebeck Child and Family Center Publications. The Guidebooks will phasize practical and clinically useful techniques that the busy practitioner can easily incorporate into their work in the child or family therapy room. The series editor John B. Mordock, Ph.D., ABPP, has published extensively on child and family therapy topics over his distinguished career. The Guidebooks will contain contributions from other experienced child and family therapists as well as from Dr. Crenshaw.
Download or read book The Multiple Self States Drawing Technique written by Susan Parente and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the Multiple Self-States Drawing Technique (MSSDT), a creative, transdiagnostic, clinical assessment tool and treatment intervention for child and adolescent clients. The MSSDT provides clinicians and patients with a novel opportunity to bridge the gap in youngsters’ selves-awareness of discrete emotional states. Dr. Parente teaches clinicians how to guide clients through this contemporaneous version of projective figure drawing in order to discover and explore trauma-based, dissociative, and emotionally dysregulated self-states and to focus on adaptive, resilient states of well-being. Specific, step-by-step instructions are provided, and case illustrations demonstrating the proposed clinical advantages of the method are presented. Chapters show how this experiential, psycho-educational, arts-based activity can be flexibly applied to a broad range of ages and clinical populations and how using the MSSDT may support mental health professionals’ clinical work. Through this manual, clinicians will learn how to help clients foster a beneficial relational encounter, promote therapeutic self-expression, and develop an enhanced self and other awareness.
