This workshop will describe in detail evocative drawing and storytelling strategies in play therapy for children and adolescents.  These interventions can be used in individual, group or family sessions.  Participants will have opportunities for hands-on practice of some of the interventions to directly experience the impact of these evocative strategies.  The evocative drawing and storytelling techniques have been designed to access in a safe and carefully paced manner the resources of the right hemisphere of the brain as described by the work of Allan Schore in recent neurobiological  and attachment research to promote healing, particularly in abused and traumatized children.
