ABSTRACT

The newly updated Digital Play Therapy focuses on the responsible integration of technology into play therapy during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

With respect for the many different modalities and approaches under the play therapy umbrella, this book incorporates therapist fundamentals, play therapy tenets, and practical information for the responsible integration of digital tools into play therapy treatment. All chapters have been updated, and new chapters discuss strategies for using teletherapy effectively during and beyond the pandemic.

This revised edition provides a solid grounding both for clinicians who are brand new to the incorporation of digital tools as well as for those who have already begun to witness digital play therapy’s power.
