The inspiration for this book was the 3-section EFPP conference in Copenhagen in May 2007 with the main theme " Play and Power ". At the conference and in the book, this theme is presented both inside and outside the therapeutic space. It is amply illustrated in clinical cases from individual psychotherapies with children and adults and from group analysis. Most of the examples are with hateful or resigned children and adults who have been exposed to extremely damaging or unhelpful environments, and who demonstrate convincingly some of the devastating consequences that abuse of power in the real world may have. Play and power are also explored in the broader context of the community, however.1 aKaren Vibeke Mortensen4B01  c2308d2308
