More than ever, the mental health field has embraced neuroscience—yet for many child therapists, translating brain science into the play therapy space has remained elusive. Here, play therapy expert Georgie Wisen-Vincent shows clinicians how to understand what happens in a child’s brain during play, so its healing power can be fully realized. The Science of Play Therapy draws on interpersonal neurobiology to reveal play intervention as a neurorelational act.

It offers a research-based framework—the four R’s of reflection, relationships, regulation, and resilience—and eight clinical strategies for shaping the developing mind. Throughout, vibrant practice examples and stories show how attuned moments of play foster mindsight, coregulation, sensory integration, and resilience. Readers will discover a groundbreaking approach to fostering attachment and trauma repair through brain-based play.

At a moment of crisis in children’s mental health, this book is both a robust scientific foundation and a hopeful, practical guide to the work.
