(TIME LIMITED) PLAY
THERAPY In the current managed care environment, psychotherapy is time-limited. This workshop focuses on short-term play therapy techniques to help children gain mastery and competence and to resolve psychological difficulties. The therapist is trained to take a directive, active, focused stance to bring problems into the open and to help guide children in the resolution of these issues. Therapists learn to formulate a central theme, develop a contract, and select appropriate materials to facilitate this process. A ten-week program will be illustrated. Video tapes enhance the didactic presentation. Instructor: Heidi Kaduson, Ph.D., RPT-S is a licensed clinical psychologist and registered play therapist-supervisor. She is in private practice in Monroe Twp., New Jersey. She has lectured throughout the world on the assessment and treatment of Attention - Deficit - Hyperactivity Disorder and Play Therapy.
