BRITISH JOURNAL OF PLAY THERAPY
The British Journal of Play Therapy is published annually by the British Association of Play Therapists (BAPT), and is available free to all BAPT members, and is purchased by libraries, organisations and individual subscribers worldwide.
The journal encourages contributions from a variety of research traditions. The British Journal of Play Therapy is pluralist in orientation, recognising the value of qualitative, quantitative and mixed method strategies of inquiry.
Play Therapy is an activity which constitutes a specialist domain of practice, and also functions as an adjunct to other occupational roles (for example in health, social services and education). The British Journal of Play Therapy carries papers that are of interest not only to members of BAPT, but also to members of other occupational groups using therapeutic play skills. The journal seeks to be relevant both to a core disciplinary constituency and also a broader interdisciplinary readership.
