and channel that anger appropriately. Children have to learn to direct the energy that
mounts inside when they become angry. This workshop will lead participants in the
acquisition of play therapy techniques to use with angry children, to engage them in
therapy, and to help them manage their anger in a constructive way. Videos, case studies
and skill practice will enhance the presentation.
