Description

Notes from a Child Psychologist features ten composite case studies based on the author's work over three decades as a psychologist for children and adolescents. Dr. Propp takes readers through a patient's treatment intervention in session-by-session sequence so you can experience what it's like to sit-in on child, adolescent, and family therapy sessions. Readers can see the progression of how a child struggles with a problem and then returns to treatment as an adolescent dealing with the same issue in a different way. Each chapter focuses on a different case, and the child and adolescent concerns include attention deficit disorder, autism, gender identity, violence, anger, substance abuse, childhood trauma, the effects of divorce on children, adoption, parenting, and poverty. All of the childhood difficulties are examined within the context of family patterns of behavior. Engaging and jargon-free, this resource is beneficial for practicing child psychologists, as well as upper undergraduate and graduate students as a supplementary text.
At long last, a book that brings the reader into the play therapy office. With warmth and humor, Dr. Propp shares his deep understanding of children and families through stories of psychotherapy. The reader joins the therapeutic journeys of 10 different youth with all the nuances, twists and turns, from the first meeting to the closing session. As a teacher of graduate students, a supervisor of therapists-in-training, and a practicing child psychologist, I applaud Dr. Propp for writing a book that fills a gap in the available literature. Notes from a Child Psychologist should be read by all therapists who work with or aspire to work with children. --Geri Fuhrmann, PsyD, professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics, UMass Chan Medical School; adjunct faculty, William James College
