Introduction
Health play specialists and child life specialists play a pivotal role in hospitals around the world, utilizing the developmental benefits and therapeutic healing properties of play to aid children’s healthcare journeys. This reflective book aims to expand and enhance the knowledge base underlying the practice of play in hospitals, providing a comprehensive guide for healthcare practitioners.
The Importance of Play in Healthcare
Play is the foundation of everything in a child’s life, serving as their safest and most natural space. It is through play that children can face their deepest fears and biggest emotions, ultimately leading to the growth and nurturing of strength and resilience. This book explores the breadth, depth, and skills of trained healthcare practitioners who provide play for babies, children, young people, and adults, placing the power of play at the center of most clinical settings.
Understanding the Theory Behind Practice
The starting point of the theory that underpins practice is explored and developed through a combination of reflective essays, case study chapters from the UK and around the world, and the newly emerging use of play in diverse settings. This book draws on the collective work of over 30 play specialists, child life specialists, play service managers, lecturers, and researchers, making it a unique resource for healthcare practitioners and settings in training and practice.
