Multi-disc video recording (6 hr 19 min) with electronic manual and instructions Description: Despite your best efforts and applying various tools in the toolbox of “therapy techniques”, do you continue to struggle with some clients? Do you wonder if there’s some new approach that you can integrate to make better headway? By incorporating Play and Creativity in your work, you can improve treatment outcomes with your clients. Learn how to incorporate Play and Creativity into your practice. Dr. Siegel is the New York Times bestselling author of Whole Brain Child, Brainstorm, No Drama Discipline and Mindsight and the leading expert on the confluence of interpersonal neurobiology, mindfulness and psychotherapy.
