Description

Water Play Therapy (WPT) is an innovative therapy technique in which water is the main therapeutic medium. Rising on Water explores the theoretical basis of WPT and guides the reader on how to use water as an effective tool, particularly to facilitate a child’s inner world. WPT assists therapists working in the field of child trauma, sensory process disorders, anxiety as well as other types of communication problems. Besides water, the technique uses elements such as color, play objects and storytelling. Readers have the opportunity to enter the “World of Water,” through a variety of case studies that demonstrate the ability of water to resurrect repressed memories from the distant past by detaching and floating thoughts and ideas. In the book, seven year old Lehi creates a Red Water World which describes her traumatic moment of birth. This book is for all individuals working with children.
