She earned her PhD from the University of North Texas where she conducted the first known Adlerian play therapy research study. Kristin works with children and adolescents, and continues to conduct and publish research on the efficacy of Adlerian play therapy. Recently she co-authored Partners in Play: An Adlerian Approach to Play Therapy (3rd ed), with Terry Kottman. When she is not working with children, teaching about working with children, or writing about working with children….she is playing with (or recovering from) her 4 children!
