Biography

Rachel McRoberts, PhD, LPC-MHSP, ACS, RPT-S, is an award-winning, Jungian-oriented counselor, play therapist, supervisor, and researcher. She is also a Professor at University of the Cumberlands and mantains an atelier private practice.

"Dr. Rachel McRoberts has done a masterful job at integrating Jungian concepts into the world of play therapy and counseling. The book is rich with information covering a broad base of Jung's influence over many disciplines, from cognitive-behavioral to the evolving world of neuroscience. This book is a pleasure because she wraps her mind around some very complicated and delicate theoretical concepts and manages to hold onto her sense of humor and wonder about it all."

John Paul "JP" Lilly, MS, LCSW, RPT-S, Chief Mechanic, Jungian Analytical Play Therapy 

"This work is exactly what is needed at this time. We are struggling, as a profession, with cohesive and accessible texts that assist with our understanding of ourselves, as counselors."

Jenna Epstein, PhD, NCC, LPC, ACS, CTRS, NREMT, Assistant Professor and Programs Coordinator at Frostburg State University

"An insightful journey through the realms of personal and professional growth, this book delves deep into aesthetics of existence, navigating the complexities of post-modernism and the therapeutic alliance. With a focus on ethics, identity, and the influence of Jungian counseling, it offers a profound exploration of the psyche's structure, language, and the transformative power of creative techniques. A must-read for anyone seeking a Jungian-centered approach to counseling and play therapy."

LoriAnn Stretch, PhD, LCMHC-S (NC), LPC (VA), NCC, ACS, Professor at University of the Cumberlands and President of the Association for Creativity in Counseling
