LEGO® bricks are a staple in many child and play therapists’ offices, and Seriously Therapeutic Play with LEGO® shows therapists and counselors how to integrate LEGO® in a therapeutically valuable way. This book presents a therapeutic approach based in biological, psychological, and social research, one that supports participants as they build models that represent their thoughts, emotions, experiences, and reflections. Using a variety of evidence-based intervention techniques, chapters show clinicians how to incorporate the model and associated metaphors to help clients, and they do so in a way that is compatible with any number of therapeutic orientations or perspectives.

Though based in current research, Seriously Therapeutic Play with LEGO® is designed for psychologists, social workers, school counselors, occupational therapists, clinical educators and supervisors, coaches, support workers, and other health care providers across the lifespan who wish to use play therapeutically.

Kristen Klassen, PhD, is a facilitator, trainer, and therapist who believes that play is at the core of all that we do, and uses it to help others learn, grow, think, and be different. Alec Hamilton, PhD, has been a practising psychologist with people of all ages for over 30 years, utilising positivity, joy and playfulness to guide his clients and colleagues on their change journey. Mary Anne Peabody, EdD, LCSW, RPT-S, is an associate professor at the University of Southern Maine and has published on adapting LEGO® Serious Play® in higher education, play therapy, and clinical supervision.
