Book for Therapy Session

For this discussion, identify a mainstream children’s book that you might consider using in a play therapy session, whether with child or child and caregiver. Check libraries, bookstores, your own book collection, yard sales, et cetera, for a book written for a child (ages 3–12) that just so happens to provide an opportunity to get a child’s perspective and explore some life challenge that a child might present with for counseling, and that also seems appropriate to use in a counseling session.

Consider the following points relative to that book, and provide information regarding each point in this discussion post. (with apa resources as support)

1•What is the theme or purpose of the book from a therapist’s perspective?

2•Why did you choose this book over others with a similar theme or purpose?

3•Does this book connect better with some therapy approaches then others? If so, which, and why?

4• You may want to share an excerpt from your book (or scan and attach pictures and text).
