Abstract "This unique resource is now in an extensively revised second edition with more than 90% new material and an expanded conceptual framework. Rich case material illustrates how children's cultural identities--as well as experiences of marginalization--shape the challenges they bring to therapy and the ways they express themselves. Expert practitioners guide therapists to build competence for working across different dimensions of diversity, including race and ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, and disability. Purchasers get access to a companion website featuring first edition chapters on play therapy with African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, and Asian Americans"-- Provided by publisher
