I have a student who wants to read a book for an assignment in class. Normally they students get to pick from a variety of books that focus on critical evaluation of an issue and I have about 20 posted on my webct page for them to pick from.
But this student wants to read something related to child psychotherapy. Normally, for therapy in general, I would recommend the book by Lilienfeld et al on Science and Pseudoscience in clinical psychology. But, because she is interestd in child therapy I need a recommendation. She asked me to read Dibs in search of self but I nixed that one. The depiction of autism is horrible and the "play therapy" is poorly characterized. If nothing else I might have her do some background reading on autism and play therapy and then have her read and critique Dibs. If any of you have a good trade book on this topic that would show good critical thinking about the issues, please let me know backchannel and I will compile the suggestions and post to the list.
