Digital Play Therapy: A Clinician’s Guide to Comfort and Competence

A must read for all therapists! Dr. Stone helps break down the intimidating aspects of digital play therapy and makes this book accessible for clinicians of all skill levels. Each chapter guides you in understanding the many layers to this work and how to use best practice. With the global pandemic still occurring, you will not be disappointed in this wonderful resource, as the reality of telehealth and continued need and preference for digital play therapy is here.

Never could the release of a new play therapy book be so perfectly timed with the needs of a community! While Digital Play Therapy in theory isn't new, the widespread use of digital play therapy techniques has become a necessity as part of the global pandemic. Many therapists were forced into online, video-based play therapy sessions without any training or guidance. Luckily, Dr. Jessica Stone has been diligently researching the efficacy of digital play therapy for years and was prepared with all of the data needed to reinforce what clinicians were already seeing - digital tools in play therapy are not only helpful, but they can sometimes be the most helpful tool in a clinician's toolbox. This book eloquently and very specifically explains the theory and application of digital play therapy in a way that is easy to understand and a delight to read.

I loved the science behind how it works, the examples of interventions, and the case examples to better understand how this all works and how I can Incorporate DPT into my practice!

Jessica Stone's timely book launched at the right time. It has been an invaluable resource to help me work more effectively with children in online sessions. I especially liked her detailed information on digital games. This is a MUST HAVE book for mental health professionals who provide both in-person and virtual sessions.

This book is wonderful. It is digestible, full of theory, research, and application, and packed with knowledge and experience from an extremely intelligent, innovative, trailblazing psychologist. It provides the foundation we all need to understand this shift in our field to incorporating technology in practice. Highly recommend.

Every play therapist needs this book and more importantly needs to read it! Powerful! Thank you Dr. Stone for sharing your wealth of knowledge with the world!

This gives and amazing overview of Digital Play Therapy. It's a mix of theory and practical interventions that is clear and well-researched. I have been recommending it to all the play therapists I know.

Not as expected, expensive resource
