ABSTRACT

By now I hope you have got the gist of my message. The playful space is sometimes kind yet often scary and harsh; it can be intimate or distant, quiet or loud, supportive but also challenging. It is a universe of fascination embracing the breadth and depth of social, emotional and cognitive reality. It is my firm belief that all of us would benefit from a little more playfulness not only in our practice but also in our life generally. I hope I have said and done enough to persuade you.
