I am glad to see this book and am considering using it as a text for my course. The American Pediatric Association has already acknowledged and written a position paper about the value of free play as a way of coping with today's overprogrammed and super-stressed generation of children and adolescents (not to mention free play's long history of documented developmental benefits to children). I think that these issues should be highlighted by all people teaching Child and Adolescent Development (as do I) and in Education and Physical Educaiton courses. We must all do our part as advocates for chldren to raise the consciousness our future parents, teachers, couselors and therapists.

As a play therapist, I believe in the power of play to give the child the chance to be imaginative, to learn, and to try things out. I work with grieving children and they use play to process and understand their experiences. I also encourage parents to play with their children. I do Filial Therapy with families in which I teach the parent the basic client-centered play therapy skills so that they can have that special play time with their child. It can go a long way to enhance the relationship between parent and child. I am glad that you put this interview up.
