Reviews

Slade and Wolf's well-edited text brings important strengths to the descriptive study of the uses of play and also highlights what it is that we have yet to learn about this vitally important human activity. . . . If you are going to have one text in your library devoted to the understanding of children and play, this is the one to have. -- Journal of the American Academy of Adolescent Psychiatry<br> An important integration on both theoretical and practical grounds. -- Contemporary Psychology<br>
