Puppet-Assisted Play Therapy :
Theory, Research, and Practice

by Cheryl Hulburd

Puppet-Assisted Play Therapy ™ is an innovative and comprehensive approach that significantly advances the field of play therapy. This easy to read, user-friendly book includes history, creative interventions, case studies, the art of puppetry, and the worldwide benefits of puppet-assisted play therapy .

"As a play therapist of more than 38 years, I am always looking for creative therapeutic techniques to use in my practice. Hulburd's book offers innovative strategies for directive and non-directive play therapists alike."
Desiree Ingram, MS, LMFT-S, RPT, USA
"Hulburd’s creative approach is brilliant. Puppets connect with children and give them a sense of control in their world. Adding puppets to your toolbox is a win-win for children and families."
