“Rise Van Fleet offers a valuable addition to the literature on both animal assisted therapy and play therapy. Van Fleet’s approach to integrating these two therapeutic modalities is a monumental step forward in the clinical treatment of children. This work provides comprehensive coverage of foundations and applications of animal assisted play therapy that is interlaced with extraordinary case examples which invoke awe and wonderment in the reader.”
