Healing Through Play Using the Oaklander Model: A Guidebook for Therapists and Counselors Working with Children, Adolescents and Families

Karen Fried PsyD LMFT
Christine McKenna LMFT LPCC

We created this guidebook to serve as a companion to the Oaklander Training Program Violet developed after publishing Windows to Our Children. Child and adolescent therapists came from all over the world to attend her life-changing two-week intensive workshops in Santa Barbara, California. This training continues in Santa Monica, California (led by Karen Fried) and in other United States and international venues by facilitators whom Violet trained, including Lynn Stadler and Peter Mortola. While this guidebook is meant to be used by therapists who have participated in Violet's training process, that experience is not a requirement.


Now Available in Spanish!

Nosotras creamos esta guía como un complemento del programa de entrenamiento en el Modelo de Oaklander que Violet desarrolló después de publicar Windows to Our Children. Terapeutas de niños y adolescentes vinieron de todo el mundo para asistir a sus talleres intensivos de dos semanas que cambiaron su vida en Santa Bárbara, California. Esta capacitación continúa en Santa Mónica, California (dirigida por Karen Fried) y en otros lugares de Estados Unidos e internacionales por facilitadores que Violet capacitó, incluidos Lynn Stadler y Peter Mortola. Si bien esta guía puede ser utilizada por terapeutas que hayan participado en el proceso de capacitación de Violet, esa experiencia no es un requisito. Estamos muy agradecidos con Liz Cervantes y Michelle Urrutia por su experta traducción al español.
