ABSTRACT
PAPT began with Herman; the turtle, my cotherapist puppet. He created a magic place for healing that children refer to as “Herman’s House”. When children and families meet Herman, their eyes light up and their hearts melt. Using puppets produces a powerful connection and trust needed for the therapeutic process. This book shared how through puppets, effective interventions address any theoretical platform you choose to work from. It includes history, research interventions, case studies, the art of puppetry, and the worldwide benefits of puppet-assisted play therapy. The unique ideas presented will enhance your knowledge and creativity which will make your therapy thrive and ultimately be more rewarding.
