This month’s Play Well Book Club explores Aggression in Play Therapy: A Neurobiological Approach for Integrating Intensity by Lisa Dion, LPC, RPT-S. In this groundbreaking work, Dion reframes the concept of aggression in the playroom not as behavior to be managed, but as energy to be understood, regulated, and integrated. Through the lens of neuroscience and Synergetic Play Therapy®, she emphasizes the therapist’s role in co-regulation and modeling authenticity, safety, and self-awareness during moments of heightened intensity.
