For nearly a century  clinical psychologists have been concerned with the content and interpersonal meaning of play. More recently  developmental psychologists have concentrated on the links between the emergence of symbolic play and evolving thought and language. At last  this volume bridges the gap between the two disciplines by defining their common interests and by developing areas of interface and interrelatedness. The editors have brought together original chapters by distinguished psychoanalysts  clinical psychologists  social workers  and developmental psychologists who shed light on topics outside the traditional confines of their respective domains. Thus the book features clinicians exploring subjects such as play representation  narrative  metaphor  and symbolization  and developmentalists examining questions regarding affect  social development  conflict  and psychopathology. Taken together  the contributors offer a rich  integrative view of the many dimensions of early play as it occurs among peers  between parent and child  and in the context of therapy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45657603342389,"sku":"ByrdShop_0195129121","price":37.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780195129120.jpg?v=1782047088","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/children-at-play-clinical-and-developmental-approaches-to-meaning-and-representation-9780195129120","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
