Publisher's Synopsis
Direct work is recognised as an important and valuable part of helping traumatised children to deal with difficult early experiences. Creative and story-based play can have a vital role in the healing process. Once Upon a Time is full of imaginative and thought-provoking examples of stories, dramatic play and role play which illustrate how to play with a child in an emotionally meaningful way, how to use stories to enhance understanding and how stimulating the child's imagination can help to develop problem-solving skills and self-esteem.
