Download or read book Dialogue of Touch written by Viola A. Brody and published by Jason Aronson, Incorporated. This book was released on 1997-06-01 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Touch is essential for life, and what Viola Brody calls capable touching is the core of developmental play therapy, building both the self of the hurt child and his or her appreciation of the nurturing other. It thus makes way for dialogue between them and - as the dialogue becomes an organizing force for the child's behaving and relating - facilitates healing and maturation. In recognition of the crucial importance of 'knowing how to be present' with a child in a reparative role, Dr. Brody incorporates training in developmental play into the body of her book to provide therapists, teachers, and other helping professionals with the experience they need to understand and practice capable touching.
