Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Touch in Child Counseling and Play Therapy explores the professional and legal boundaries around physical contact in therapy and offers best-practice guidelines from a variety of perspectives. Chapters address issues around appropriate and sensitive therapist-initiated touch, therapeutic approaches that use touch as an intervention in child treatment, and both positive and challenging forms of touch that are initiated by children. In these pages, professionals and students alike will find valuable information on ways to address potential ethical dilemmas, including defining boundaries, working with parents and guardians, documentation, consent forms, cultural considerations, countertransference, and much more.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Overview and the ethical implications of touch -- Play therapy models that use touch as an intervention -- Healing children traumatized by touch -- Innovations and the utilization of touch with children -- Toward the development of core competencies supporting the ethics of touch in child counseling and play therapy.
