A Child Psychotherapy Primer: Suggestions for the Beginning Therapist

Description

For the therapist just starting out, the transition from adult to child cases can feel overwhelming. A Child Psychotherapy Primer strips away the complexity and provides a clear, step-by-step framework for beginning clinicians. Josiah B. Dodds presents a foundational text that covers the essential elements of child psychotherapy: assessment, the role of play, developmental considerations, and specific therapeutic interventions. Rather than a dense theoretical treatise, this is a practical primer designed to build clinical confidence from day one.\n\nEach chapter builds logically, moving from initial assessment to specific techniques and concluding with practical guidance on parental involvement and interdisciplinary collaboration. For the student or the newly licensed therapist, this book serves as a reliable desk reference for years. The EPUB format makes it portable and searchable, so you can quickly reference protocols during supervision or between sessions. Start your child psychotherapy career on a solid foundation with this foundational text.
