Jungian Counseling and Play Therapy is both an introduction to Jung's theory and a practical guide to Jungian-informed practice.
Readers journey through the development of the mental health crisis of the digital age (which Jung foresaw) and are presented with solutions he suggested that are still being met with resistance, despite compelling facts. This book not only advocates for a more widespread integration of Jungian ideas into clinical practice, but also for greater acknowledgement of the integrity, creativity, and intersecting identities of clients, professional counselors, and play therapists. Integrating historical theory with contemporary research, this book helps students to weave creative techniques into their online and in-person clinical work.
This is an ideal text for a psychodynamic theory or methods class, or to support counseling students and supervisors becoming interested in, or familiar with, the work of Carl Jung.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Dr. Rachel McRoberts has done a masterful job at integrating Jungian concepts into the world of play therapy and counseling. The book is rich with information covering a broad base of Jung's influence over many disciplines, from cognitive-behavioral to the evolving world of neuroscience. This book is a pleasure because she wraps her mind around some very complicated and delicate theoretical concepts and manages to hold onto her sense of humor and wonder about it all."

"This work is exactly what is needed at this time. We are struggling, as a profession, with cohesive and accessible texts that assist with our understanding of ourselves, as counselors."
Jenna Epstein, PhD, NCC, LPC, ACS, CTRS, NREMT, Assistant Professor and Programs Coordinator at Frostburg State University
"An insightful journey through the realms of personal and professional growth, this book delves deep into aesthetics of existence, navigating the complexities of post-modernism and the therapeutic alliance. With a focus on ethics, identity, and the influence of Jungian counseling, it offers a profound exploration of the psyche's structure, language, and the transformative power of creative techniques. A must-read for anyone seeking a Jungian-centered approach to counseling and play therapy."
