Everyone should read "Play Therapy" (1913) by Hermine von Hug-Hellmuth!!!! 🧐

[Anna Freud @AnnaFreud20]

Play Therapy is important in child psychoanalysis. Play is how children communicate without feeling threatened. It is really important to establish a strong therapeutic alliance with the children, to gain attention and trust.

The danger lies in the fact that the destruction ranging in the outer world may meet the very real aggressiveness ranging in the inside of the child

The real danger is not that the child, caught up all innocently in the whirlpool of war, will be shocked into illness.

Every child should be recognized as a person in his or her own right. 👏

Creative minds have always been known to survive any kind of bad training.
