Using Story Telling as a Therapeutic Tool with Children

by Dr Margot Sunderland
PaperbackThis practical handbook begins with the philosophy and psychology underpinning the therapeutic value of story telling. It shows how to use story telling as a therapeutic tool with children and how to make an effective response when a child tells a story to you. It covers issues such as:
– Why story telling is such a good way of helping children with their feelings;
– What resources you may need in a story-telling session;
– How to construct your own therapeutic story for a child;
– What to do when children tell stories to you;
– Things to do and say when working with a child’s story.
