It was a great honor to write Chapter 4, Cooperative Games, in this publication of Game Play: Therapuetic use of Games with Children and Adolescents.  Cooperative games are those in which the players work together against an imaginary opponent (the game itself).  Their use in therapy is one of my favorite tools when working with siblings that have high-conflict relationships. However, they are helpful for building a variety of skills in therapy and also as tools for families to use in their homes. You can read a short article about some of my favorite Cooperative Games here.  I talked with my esteemed colleague, Lisa Dion, about Cooperative Games on her podcast Lessons from the Playroom.  Take a listen here. 

The book includes chapters on strategy games, digital games, using game play with children of divorce or sexual abuse and many other topics from some of the most capable colleagues in the play therapy field. It is a valuable addition to your bookshelf.  Please find all of the details about this book at the publishers link below.
