Description
Sue Jennings introduces a groundbreaking theory that challenges traditional views of attachment and child development. Her concept of Neuro-Dramatic-Play explores the sensory experiences between mother and child during pregnancy and the first few months after birth, highlighting their crucial role in shaping an infant's brain, attachments, and future resilience.
This accessible text draws on sound experience and observation to consolidate current theories of neuroscience, attachment, and therapeutic intervention. It makes a strong case for early years inclusion of play and arts therapies, with implications for fostering and adoption, teenagers, young adults, and children with developmental or cognitive disabilities.
