Two new products are now available at ChildTherapyToys.com and I've been very excited about them both. The first is a book and accompanying DVD titled Sandtray Therapy: A Humanistic Approach by Stephen Armstrong, Ph.D. Here's a brief and well-put review:

"A wonderful addition to the field! Sandtray therapy use is growing exponentially and Steve's new book will facilitate this growth and add critical depth. Steve sets the sandtray therapy work in context of theory and in content with the client. The DVD of an actual session and the detailed comments in the text provide insight into how to do the processing. Even more importantly, it provides the reader with a depth of understanding his reasons for his work with the client. This is an invaluable view into the purpose of the counselor while processing the session. Finally, each chapter has an invitation to reflect upon what one has read - it drew me into deeper self-awareness and self-discovery."  --Linda E. Homeyer, Ph.D.



The second new product is Pass Around the Magic: The Shared Storytelling Card Game. Aside from being a great exercise in creative thinking, this game addresses a wide range of issues, from literacy and communication to leadership and character development. I've already had many positive responses from my clients.
