This presentation will cover practical techniques that can be integrated into a wide range of theoretical and therapy approaches.  A number of goal-directed techniques will be described which can be used in individual, group and family play therapy.  While some non-directive symbolic play themes typically seen with aggressive children will be discussed, this is largely a directive play therapy approach that was developed from work over a 30 year period with very aggressive children in residential treatment.
