Doing Therapy with Children and Adolescents with Asperger Syndrome
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, April 2010, Pages: 240
The conventional wisdom of the autism experts is that AS and HFA children are not capableof benefiting from talk and play therapy. The author, based on years of experience and success with such clients, disagrees. What these children think, feel and wonder about matters a lot to them. They want relationships even as they fear them, just as they want understanding and acceptance from others even as those human reactions cause anxiety. While heeding the specific developmental requisites of such children, the protocols delineated in this book attend to the whole child, something that seems to have been neglected in the more recent history of autism treatment. Using vivid and telling case material, the book guides therapeutic work with children and adolescents who have AS and HFA. It reveals the wonder, beauty, intrigue and humor in working with these children. The book combines clinical wisdom, long experience, and a new view in a form that is engaging, readable, and attuned to the needs of clinicians and the children they help.
