Sensorimotor Psychotherapy for Children, Adolescents, and Families presents clinicians with a transformative approach that taps into the body’s intelligence to support healing in children, adolescents, and their families. Coauthored by Pat Ogden, the creator of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP), and Bonnie Goldstein, a child, adolescent, and family psychologist, this first full-length guide to SP with kids demonstrates how gestures, posture, facial expression, and movement convey what words often cannot.The book presents practical strategies for engaging young people in individual, family, and group therapy, including mindfulness approaches for dysregulated children, caregiver involvement, and adaptations for distance therapy. By integrating verbal and somatic interventions, the authors address the nonverbal legacy of trauma and relational challenges, helping children process experiences even when language is unavailable or limited. Filled with practice-based examples and clinical guidance, this book is an essential resource for therapists seeking to harness the body’s wisdom and promote healing, connection, and resilience in young clients and their families.
