| Seminar #227 DYNAMIC PLAY
THERAPY WITH ADULTS Adults as well as children have experiences which are very difficult in words. The expressive modalities of movement, art, drama, and story telling can be used in the therapy with adults as an addition to more verbal forms as well as independent methods to facilitate creativity, metaphor making, and playfulness. Such techniques can be used in work with individuals, couples, and to facilitate parenting in all family situations. This workshop will familiarize participants with several ways of using both structured as well as more improvised play therapy experiences in working with adults. Emphasis on using playful interaction within such activity will be incorporated. The workshop will use directed experiences, seminar, and case presentations. Material presented in "Play Therapy with Adults", edited by Charles Schaefer will be use as background.
