Play, the therapist and associative thought

Abstract

If we do not totally cast out the concept of left brain/ right brain with the bath-water of New Ageism, we can examine what may be useful in the concept that different parts of the brain are used for different ways of thinking. I want to show that the right brain processes are essential for associative thought, which in turn is essential for play, and play, of course is the way we are able to transform ourselves.
