Description
Surveys indicate that the prescriptive-eclectic model is the most popular theoretical approach among play therapists. The basic premise of this model is that one needs to use therapeutic flexibility in Play Therapy. This means that the therapist adapts the treatment to meet the needs of children with different presenting problems. It is believed that rigid adherence to a single theoretical model is likely to result in considerable frustration for both therapist and child. The instructor will describe adaptations of play therapy disorders of childhood. Implications of the latest research findings on play therapy will form the basis for treatment guidelines.
