Child Agency and Voice in Therapy offers innovatory ways of thinking about, and working with, children in therapy.
The book:

-considers different practices such as respecting the rights of the child in therapy and recognising and listening to children as ‘active agents’ and ‘experts’;

-features approaches that: access children’s views of their therapy; engage with them as researchers or co-researchers; and that use play and arts-based methods;

-draws on arts therapies research in ways that enable insight and learning for all those engaged with children’s therapy and wellbeing;

-considers how the contexts of the therapy, such as a school or counselling centre, relate to the ways children experience themselves and their therapy in relation to rights, agency and voice. Meer
