Let’s Play! Foundations of Play Therapy
An Introduction to the Why, What & How of Play Therapy
New to play therapy—or looking for a stronger foundation for the work you’re already doing with children?
Join me for a practical, engaging introduction to what play therapy is, why it works, and how play becomes therapeutic. We’ll explore the foundations of play therapy, the therapeutic powers of play, and ways to begin thoughtfully integrating play therapy principles into your clinical work with children.
✔️ Define Play Therapy and distinguish Play Therapy from the general use of toys, games, and playful activities in child psychotherapy.
✔️ Identify at least 3 Therapeutic Powers of Play and describe how they contribute to therapeutic change within the Play Therapy process.
✔️ Compare directive and nondirective approaches to Play Therapy and identify at least 2 considerations that may inform a Play Therapist’s choice of approach.
