About Hidden Treasure: A Map To The Child's Inner Self
Product Description Hidden Treasure is a follow up to Oaklander's first book, Windows To Our Children. Most of the books available in working with this population are written from a traditional 'play therapy' point of view. The Gestalt Therapy-based approach provides a more effective method for psychotherapeutic work with children of all ages. The focus is on the relationship between the therapist and client, rather than observation and interpretation. It is a vigorous, dynamic approach.Violet Oaklander uses a wide variety of creative, expressive and projective techniques in her work, and each chapter reflects and exemplifies the use of this work in the service of therapy. The approach is applicable to a wide variety of ages, as well as individual, family and group settings. The book will interest child and adolescent psychotherapists, psychologists, social workers, counselors, interns, school personnel as well as graduate-level students. Parents may also find it helpful, as well as adults who are interested in the child within. Review " Hidden Treasure is an essential text for all play therapy practitioners and students. It is a work of great wisdom that distils the vast experience of Violet Oaklander's work with children of all ages and adolescents. The many, many practical examples fully illustrate the application of Gestalt principles in building successful therapeutic relationships to enable the children to discover their true inner selves. This inspiring work will surely become a major landmark in the field just as Windows to Our Children emerged some thirty years ago." (Monika Jephcott, President) "Hidden Treasure will sit happily alongside Windows to Our Children on the shelves of practitioners around the world. It offers a gentle and developmentally appropriate approach to helping children heal―and to helping adults understand children." (Peter Mortola, Associate Professor of Counseling and School Psychology) "The narrative is straightforward and based on accumulated experience of working with children from a veriety of backgrounds. Summing Up: Highly Recommended." ( Choice) About the Author Violet Oaklander
