Digital Play Therapy is a must read for clinicians who want to understand the use of digital technology in psychotherapy.

I LOVE this book! Jessica Stone combines the personal and professional to open a door for play therapists to consider the possibility of becoming digital play therapists. Whether you like it or not, technology is here to stay. No matter what your theoretical orientation is, it's essential to meet clients where they are by speaking their language and having 'toys' that interest them in your play room that capture their imaginations. Digital Play Therapy provides a plethora of practical tools for stepping into the here and now with play therapy clients. As an added bonus, because of today's therapeutic considerations, Dr. Stone has interwoven invaluable telemental health suggestions throughout the chapters. - Terry Kottman, PhD, RPT-S, LMHC, founder and director of the League of Extraordinary Adlerian Play Therapists, USA
This is an honest and clear presentation of technology's implications for play therapy. Dr. Stone's innovative book shows the reader the varying way technology can be incorporated in the playroom, including new case examples using popular games such as Roblox and Animal Crossing. The new edition also explores the process of providing telemental health therapy. The completeness in addressing every aspect of what digital play therapy encompasses and proposes is impressive! If you have ever thought about how to use technology therapeutically in any capacity or how technology-based play can be successful in play sessions, this is your guide. - Robert Jason Grant, EdD, LPC, RPT-S, ACAS, author, speaker, and creator of AutPlay (R) Therapy, USA
