Playwork Theory and Practice. Edited by Fraser Brown. (Open University Press, 17.99, 01280 823388)
Reviewed by Miranda Walker, playwork trainer
This book provides insight into the current thinking of many leading names in playwork, including the well-known theorists Fraser Brown and Gordon Sturrock. Thirteen play experts have contributed chapters.
An 'in-depth exploration of a range of theoretical perspectives' is aimed for and, achieved. This is certainly not a book for light reading, but I would recommend it to experienced practitioners and playwork students (working to at least level three) who seek to expand, update and challenge their current theoretical knowledge.
